Simple utility to change keymap on the fly

[triantares]

@Thanatermesis

What's the handiest thing is to have a widget that from a single (or double) click we can select one or other keymap

Which is exactly what this app does but ..... there's a lot of keymaps to choose from, if you want all of them as an option.
In time we can add options to set fixed chosen keymaps using either a 'HotKey' combo like 'Alt + Shift' as well as a clickable icon in i.e the 'systray.'....I suspect that's what youre referring to

@Thanatermesis

maybe Elive needs a better support for more than one keyboard

Something like 'gxkb', which has been mentioned before:

Help: Add a second keymap on E16

Hello, I have installed Elive 64-bit and I want to add a secondary language (english). I want to use english and greek, so i can edit files and stuff for my work. And this is a great system and I want to keep using it. I have donated twice to it So i went to preferences / settings, configuration languages and keyboard but when i change the keyboard layout to greek, it changes the language greek. I don't know what I am doing wrong or what I am missing. But i want to keep both languages at the sa…

Maybe we just pull in that app and add a GUI configurator for the wanted keymap- and toggle-choices.

@Thanatermesis

In any case, good alternative app to have

Not really meant as an alternative but as a replacement for 'elive-reconfigure-language-keyboard' which clearly is written as a script for the 'installer' or on the first run of the 'live'-version....and does that job just fine but is overkill in a running system.

The really 'good' thing is that

1. it doesn't require any elevated (i.e sudo) privileges and works immediately with a minimum of fuss.
2. it keeps the existing 'model' and 'rules' from the installation, practically assuming they're correct.
