If you have an international keyboard layout, you should set the option |
| 380 |
<c>XkbModel</c> to <c>pc102</c> or <c>pc105</c>, as this will allow mapping of the |
| 381 |
additional keys specific to your keyboard. |
| 382 |
</p> |
| 383 |
|
| 384 |
<p> |
| 385 |
Deadkeys allow you to press keys that will not show immediately but will be |
| 386 |
combined with another letter to produce a single character such as é,è,á,à, |
| 387 |
etc. Setting <c>XkbVariant</c> to <c>nodeadkeys</c> allows input these special |
| 388 |
characters into X terminals. |
| 389 |
</p> |
| 390 |
|
| 391 |
<p> |
| 392 |
If you would like to switch between more than one keyboard layout (for example |
| 393 |
English and Russian), all you have to do is add a few lines to |
| 394 |
<path>xorg.conf</path> that specify the desired layouts and the shortcut |
| 395 |
command. |

Here, <c>XkbOptions</c> allows you to toggle between keyboard layouts by simply |
| 408 |
pressing <c>Alt-Shift</c>. This will also toggle the Scroll Lock light on or |
| 409 |
off, thanks to the <c>grp_led:scroll</c> option. This is a handy visual |
| 410 |
indicator of which keyboard layout you are using at the moment. |
