How to use several keyboard layouts with Awesome WM?

+0
−0

I can't set two keyboard layouts with Awesome WM (v4.3) on Debian 12.

Using the following configuration (in rc.lua config file of Awesome WM), only the french layout seems to be usable. The us layout is not accessible by clicking on the 'fr' symbol in the top bar menu of Awesome WM and I don't know if there is another way to select it:

-- Keyboard map indicator and changer
local keyboard_layout = require("keyboard_layout")
local kbdcfg = keyboard_layout.kbdcfg({type = "tui"})
kbdcfg.add_primary_layout("Français", "FR", "fr")
kbdcfg.add_additional_layout("English", "US", "us")
kbdcfg.bind()

The content of my X11 config file (i.e. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d):

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "fr"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "us"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet"
EndSection

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my entire rc.lua config file of Awesome WM :

-- found (e.g. lgi). If LuaRocks is not installed, do nothing.
pcall(require, "luarocks.loader")

                     text = awesome.startup_errors })
end

-- Handle runtime errors after startup
do
    local in_error = false
    awesome.connect_signal("debug::error", function (err)
        -- Make sure we don't go into an endless error loop
        if in_error then return end
        in_error = true

        naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical,
                         title = "Oops, an error happened!",

Have you tried using awful's widget instead: awful.widget.keyboardlayout. It seems to be a switcher that automatically loads the available X11 settings(?).

Here's a sample configuration (untested, pruned from mine).

NB: I only use one layout, so I haven't tried the switching functionality.

local awful = require("awful")
local wibox = require("wibox")
local mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = beautiful.awesome_icon,
                                     menu = mymainmenu })
local mykeyboardlayout = awful.widget.keyboardlayout()

awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s)
    -- Create a promptbox for each screen
    s.mypromptbox = awful.widget.prompt()
    -- Create the wibox
    s.mywibox = awful.wibar({ position = "top", screen = s })

    -- Add widgets to the wibox
    s.mywibox:setup {
        layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
        { -- Left widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            mylauncher,
            s.mypromptbox,
        },
        s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
        { -- Right widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            mykeyboardlayout,
            wibox.widget.systray(),
        },
    }
end)

Thank you very much for your help ! Thanks to your answer I found that it seems that my xorg config file is not taken into account (I don't know why). Fortunately I manage to use several layout using the standard recommendation of [https://github.com/echuraev/keyboard_layout](the Keyboard switcher add-on) (I will post an answer here).
