Actually: They will not type Hebrew unless X gives them Hebrew characters from the keyboard. I figure that you have the option grp:shift_toggle , which toggles the current group when you press both shifts. In XKB terminology a "Layout" can have multiple "Groups". Those Groups are what is normally referred to as "layouts" in many other terminologies. Changing a layout is a costly operation. Changing a group requires basically one message. WindowMaker, for instance, has an option of per-window Group toggling. Implementing this with Layouts would have made switching between windows a potentially expensive operation. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
