Reply To: Keyboard layout always lost in live

[sybokMember]

Hi, this is not a solution but rather a workaround:
1) Add the below line to ‘~/.desktop-session/startup’:
setxkbmap <primary keyboard>

2) I have a script invoked by an appropriately defined keyboard shortcut:

#!/bin/bash
## Switch xkbmap, alternate between primary and secondary:

primary='us'
seconds='cz_qwerty'

current="$(setxkbmap -query | grep '^layout:' | awk -F: ' { print $2 } ' | xargs)"

if [ "${current}" == "${primary}" ]; then
  setxkbmap "${seconds}"
elif [ "${current}" == "${seconds}" ]; then
  setxkbmap "${primary}"
else
  echo "Current layout [${current}], switching to [${primary}]"
  setxkbmap "${primary}"
fi
