NAME

xkbsel - select keyboard layout

SYNOPSIS

xkbsel [-v] [--debug] [-s] MAP

xkbsel [-v] [--debug] {-n,-p}

xkbsel {--help,--version}

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.
