HELP!
I performed routine upgrade to the most recent versions of Debian
Testing packages in my laptop.
Among other things, Gnome got upgraded to version 2.12.
Unfortunately, I found no preferences dialog to specify that I want to
use left-shift and right-shift combination as the hot key for switching
between English and Hebrew keyboard layouts, which was the setting used
before the upgrade.
Desktop->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts
allows me to add Israel sil452 layout
allows me to choose a default layout
allows me to specify that I want a different layout for each window
HOWEVER:
Desktop->Preferences->Keyboard->Layout Options
used, in previous version of Gnome, to allow me to choose a hot key
combination for switching between keyboard layouts. Now it has only
"Miscellaneous compatibility options", which set two MS-Windows
compatibility options.
I tried also:
Desktop->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
However it does not have the Action, which I want (switching between
two keyboard layouts), and no way to add more actions.
I wanted to see if and which configuration file/s should be manually
edited.
So I tried to grep files in the following subdirectories of an home
directory in my desktop PC (which has Gnome 2.8.3 under Debian Stable,
and the keyboard switching stuff works OK):
.gconf, .gconfd, .gnome, .gnome_private (empty), .gnome2,
.gnome2_private (empty).
However I found no hint which contains the appropriate keyboard layout
configuration (which I assumed that it is controlled by Gnome rather
than by X-Window).
If Gnome 2.12 no longer has the GUI, what configuration file/s should I
manually edit to restore the functionality I need for Hebrew+English
work?
Thanks,
--- Omer
