Topic: changing keyboard layout

Where would I change the keyboard layout in Statler? Currently, I believe, it's set to UK. I would like to change it to US.

Thanks for the help!

The little box in your system tray? I believe its small and gray and has white lettering? Click on it. Iirc, it has GB, US, and DE. You can edit your autostart.sh so that it starts on US by default, if you like.

A world without what makes us, us. One without you or me.
A world with no differences, this is the world I see.

Re: changing keyboard layout

If you're running the xfce4 version of alpha2 you can change it under Settings > Keyboard > Layout.

Re: changing keyboard layout

@djakku - the tray program (fbxkb) still exists however it doesn't autostart by default. If you want to change the keyboard layout, I would just run "setxkbmap us" or whatever layout you want.

BTW if you wish to contact me, send me an e-mail instead of a PM.

Re: changing keyboard layout

I have added the line:

setxkbmap sv &

in 'Settings > Openbox config > autostart.sh' to get swedish keyboard layout.
