Hello Andreas, you may missunderstand my question.
I'm looking for a possibility to display the used layout (in my case either de or pl) via xsetroot in the statusbar of dwm. Do you have any idea how to achieve that? By the way thanks for the improved version of your patch. I applied it and it's still working fine. :) Regards Robert 2010/5/26 Andreas Amann <am...@physik.tu-berlin.de>: > On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 01:08:27AM +0200, orsch...@googlemail.com wrote: >> Sorry forgot to add a small request when we're already talking about this >> issue. >> >> Is there any way to display the currently used layout via xsetroot in >> statusbar? >> > > I simply use something like > setxkbmap -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:caps" "ie,de" > which uses the otherwise unused caps lock led for this. > > Btw, I noticed that if you specify more than two keyboards, bits 13 and 14 > in XEvent->xbutton->state seem to indicate which layout is currently > selected.
