way to switch keybaord layouts and languages
 

So far I have worked only with KDE, which has built-in support for multiple keyboard layouts (albeit somwhat primitve compared to windows): you just choose the layouts you want and use keyboard shortcuts or a small applet on the kde bar to switch between them as necessary.

I am now trying to figure out a way to make this work in Puppy Linux, which uses JWM.

To make it show non-lating fonts one only has to place the required fonts in its fonts directory.

But so far I failed to find a way to switch between keyboard layouts so that I can type non-lating and latin the way I can with KDE or in Windows.

Any advice?

Put following into your xorg.conf
SHIFT+ALT will toggle keyboard layouts, US and DE in above example.

There are more ways to do it. Here is another.

Thank you very much!
