Switching layout variant

Open Berkmann18 opened this issue 5 years ago β€’ 0 comments

The layout switch seems to work fine but even tho there are two variants in the config file, I don't seem to be able to switch between them (while it also seems that all the variants must be available for each layout). What seems to happen is that for my two layouts (gb,fr), the two variants I have (extd,dvorak) it seems that what I get is gb-extd and dvorak-fr (meanwhile having a third variant that only exist for one layout throws off gxkb).

Edit: I think I figured out the issue (or at least the gap in the docs): layouts can be repeated (e.g. gb,gb,fr) as long as the variant at the corresponding index in the list is available for that layout (e.g. layout[0] will use variant[0], layout[1] will use variant[1], ... layout[n] will use variant[n]); there's no permutation (which is what I initially thought).

Side note: I'm not sure if it's an AwesomeWM remapping problem or laptop or gxkb but it seems that switching layouts can fuck with the WM's keybindings.
