Xfce 4 Xkb Plugin

The Xfce 4 Xkb Plugin is a powerful tool that displays the current keyboard layout in real-time. Whenever the layout changes, the plugin automatically updates itself to reflect the new configuration. With this utility, users can also switch between keyboard layouts by simply clicking on the plugin.

In the latest version of the software, users can now display keyboard layouts using either text labels or images of the corresponding country's flag. If the flag image is not available, the plugin falls back to displaying the text label instead. This plugin is designed to work in tandem with the XKB extension, providing users with greater control over their keyboard layouts.

At present, the keyboard layouts cannot be configured directly from the plugin. Instead, they must be set in the XF86Config file or through some other means, such as setxkbmap.

To use this plugin, simply add it to your panel and it will display the current keyboard layout. Clicking on the plugin will switch the layout to the next configured option. There are two display modes available: image and text. The image mode shows the layout as a country flag, while the text mode displays the two-letter country code (e.g. US or RU).

Users can also choose between two modes of operation: store layout globally or store layout per application. If the layout is stored per application, a default layout must be selected. The default layout is set for all newly launched applications.

Overall, the Xfce 4 Xkb Plugin is an essential tool for anyone who needs to switch between multiple keyboard layouts on a regular basis. With its intuitive interface and robust functionality, this utility is a must-have for anyone who wants to maximize their productivity and efficiency.
