|
- `layouts`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A table (array) which contains tables with keys indicating layout and (optionally) variant. This argument is **mandatory**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `add_us_secondary`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A boolean controlling whether to add `us` as a secondary layout. This is needed in order for keyboard shortcuts to work in certain applications, i.e. Firefox, while using a non-US keyboard layout.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `timeout`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An integer which determines the interval at which the widget will be updated, in case the keyboard layout was changed by other means.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `settings`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A "callback" function in which the user is expected to set the text widget up. The widget itself is available as the global variable `widget`, while layout information is available as `kbdlayout_now`. `kbdlayout_now` contains two keys, `layout` containing the primary layout, and `variant`, containing the variant. If there is no variant, `variant` is `nil`.

## output table
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Variable | Meaning | Type
|
||
|
|
--- | --- | ---
|
||
|
|
`widget` | The widget (textbox) | `awful.widget.textbox`
|
||
|
|
`update` | Function to update the widget and call `settings` | function
|
||
|
|
`set` | Function taking an index as an argument to manually set the layout given by that index | function
|
||
|
|
`next` | Change to the next layout | function
|
||
|
|
`prev` | Change to the prev layout | function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The textbox can be added to the layout via standard means:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
right_layout:add(mykbdlayout)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, left-clicking the textbox calls `next`, and right-clicking calls `prev`. You can set up additional key- or mouse-bindings. See the example below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-- Switch between US Dvorak and DE layouts.
|
||
|
|
mykbdlayout = lain.widgets.contrib.kbdlayout({
|
||
|
|
layouts = {{ layout="us", variant="dvorak" },
|
||
|
|
{ layout="de" }},
|
||
|
|
settings = function ()
|
||
|
|
if kbdlayout_now.variant then
|
||
|
|
widget:set_text(" " .. kbdlayout_now.layout .. "/" .. kbdlayout_now.variant .. " ")
|
||
|
|
else
|
||
|
|
widget:set_text(" " .. kbdlayout_now.layout .. " ")
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-- Add to the layout.
|
||
|
|
right_layout:add(mykbdlayout)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-- Add this key binding to your global keys to
|
||
|
|
-- add traditional Alt+Shift switching.
|
||
|
|
awful.key({ "Mod1" }, "Shift_L", function () mykbdlayout.next() end)
