Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.5+5
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/setxkbmap




I'm writing a little bash script that will toggle the keymap.  I am currently using "setxkbmap -print|grep -q $KBD1" to check the current keymap. It's working fine for this case but I am wondering if there is a command that returns the current keymap.  I've read man pages for setxkbmap, xmodmap, etc but couldn't find anything.


#!/bin/bash

KBD1=us
KBD2=ca_enhanced

if setxkbmap -print|grep -q $KBD1
then
  setxkbmap $KBD2
else
  setxkbmap $KBD1
fi

it could be useful that setxkbmap says which one is currently using : 
de, fr, us, ca ;;; or customed ...

You can use xprop -root _XKB_RULES_NAMES to get some hint.  It's kind of
broken in the presence of multiple keyboards, each with its own keymap,
and in the presence of customized layouts, though.

I'm not sure what ca_enhanced is supposed to be (it doesn't seem to
exist in current xkb-config), or what the use case for your shell script
is, but note that you can set multiple (up to 4) layouts in one go and
an xkb option to select a key combination to switch between them.

Cheers,
Julien
