DESCRIPTION
xkbsel is a command-line interface for selecting the keyboards, suitable for installing as action bound to some key combination in a window manager, inclusion in scripts or plain command-line usage. xkbsel supports following options:
- -s MAP, --select=MAP
- selects the named MAP
- -n, --next
- select the next map in the ordering defined by the configuration file
- -p, --previous
- select the previous map in the ordering defined by the configuration file
- -v, --verbose
- be verbose
- --debug
- be very verbose
- --help
- output brief usage instructions
- --version
- output the version of the program
The MAP can be specified either as full XKB name (e.g. xfree86(us) or sun/de(type4_de)), or as a shortcut defined in the configuration file. The options -n and -p only work when the current mapping was specified in the shortcut form - otherwise they select the first and the last map respectively.
