Keyboard layout

[Sasha]

I have now English qwerty in use.
But I want to add more languages (Russian winkeys and Eng dvorak) to have them available
and usable in the text editors and browsers. How may I add another input language support here ?
VL 6.0 out of the box.

Have you tried clicking on the 'language' button on the login manager?
If you can't do it from there, you can always use setxkbmap
The layouts are included out of the box I believe

There is an app that resides in the tray called "fbxkb"

As you can see in the screenshot, just click until you see the flag you need and you're using that layout you need. However, there is a cli command that you need to enter before you run the app. I have a link to that command on my other box. Give me a day or two to post the link. You may have to pm me in case I lose track of where I found this post.

Here is the link. Follow the instructions and then run fbxkb.

Try this:

I wrote it for VL 5.9, but most it works just fine in VL 6.0(Depending on your WM, you may not get a language indicator icon on your panel). I live just fine without it on IceWM.

Also if you have any cds with cyrillic filenames you may want to check this:

Hope that helps

... or simply add estonian keyboard Start>My Computer>Regional and Language Options>Languages>Details>Estonian. Youll have a Language icon on your taskbar, from where you can easily switch between your original keyboard layout and estonian one when typing. 

Estonian keyboard layout is here there are missing some foreigen characters, which are typed using AltGr key, but youll hardly need them:

On my xfce-panel I put a launcher and program it for different language settings
with command "setxkbmab xx" where xx is the language like de, ru, us. To each
language I put the flag of the country as an icon which can be found in /usr/share/xfce4/xkb/flags,
as the Name: US Keyboard, etc.

It is very fast and convenient for me.

More flags can be found at: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/data/pixmaps/flags
