Description

I have a shortcut for changing my keyboard layout on hyprland that works fine, as intended, but i have 2 different keyboard layouts, and my password is in english. If i lock the screen using hyprlock and my selected layout was not english at the moment, i can't change it with my shortcut as i did before. What can i do?

How to reproduce

Lock the screen with hyprlock with a different layout

If you're using hypridle you could do something like on-timeout = hyprctl switchxkblayout [your-keyboard] [id-english-layout] && hyprlock to reset your keyboard layout to english before you lock your screen, see here for more explanation of the cmd: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Using-hyprctl/#switchxkblayout

you can use this to toggle between keyboard layouts in lock screen with click on layout label:

add to hyprlock.conf

label {
    text = $LAYOUT
    position = -50, 160
    halign = right
    valign = bottom
    onclick = hyprctl switchxkblayout current next
}
