Simos: As Bruno points out you don't need to show the complete
thing. In fact just showing the first character would work in most
cases. In the xkeyboard-config/symbols directory:
$ for i in ??; do ack '^xkb_symbols\s+"(.)(.*?)"' --output="$i:\$1" $i;
done |sort|uniq -c|sort -n|grep -c '1 '
239
$ for i in ??; do ack '^xkb_symbols\s+"(.)(.*?)"' --output="$i:\$1" $i;
done |sort|uniq -c|sort -n|grep -vc '1 '
81
Most of those 81 things are layouts with variant subscripts, like am's
'eastern' and 'eastern-alt'. But for the rest (the 239) the first
letter is unambiguous:
$ for i in ??; do ack '^xkb_symbols\s+"(.)(.*?)"' --output="$i:\$1/\$2" $i;
done | grep ^is
is:b/asic
is:S/undeadkeys
is:n/odeadkeys
is:m/ac
is:d/vorak
It'd be a large UI improvement I think to look at the xkb_symbols for
each language, if the first letter is unique use that, otherwise fall
back on the old numeric subscripts behavior.
As for how I got a gnome-panel keyboard widget with no numeric
subscripts. I simply upgraded to 10.04. Before the upgrade I had the
subscripts, but not after.
Here's my gconftool output:
layouts = [is dvorak,is]
options = [lv3 lv3:ralt_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle,ctrl
ctrl:swapcaps]
model = pc105

Variant keyboard layouts are numbered with a subscript instead of something
more descriptive
