DBUS INTERFACE
Kbdd registers a dbus interface in order to notify a window manager about layout change and listens on
this interface for incoming requests. This interface can be used in WM widgets to indicate the current
layout.
The dbus interface has the following methods:
getLayoutName( uint32 )
returns a string representing the layout group name
set_layout( uint32 )
sets current group
getCurrentLayout
returns current layout group id
next_layout
switches to the next keyboard layout
prev_layout
switches to the previous keyboard layout
The following events (signals) are available:
layoutChanged
returns new group number
layoutNameChanged
returns name for the new group
You can change the layout with the following dbus-send command:
dbus-send --dest=ru.gentoo.KbddService /ru/gentoo/KbddService ru.gentoo.kbdd.set_layout uint32:1
BUGS
Some users reported problems with sticking meta-keys (Alt or Meta4), however, at the moment there is not
enough information collected to conclude if this is caused by kbdd or not.
Newly found bugs may be reported on the project page at github ⟨http://github.com/qnikst/kbdd/issues⟩.
