DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the kkbswitch command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it
has documentation in the KDE handbook format; see below.
kkbswitch is a keyboard layout indicator for KDE.
It is useful when you have configured the XKeyboard extension of your X
Server to have more than one keyboard group (layout), for example
US/ASCII and Russian. KKBSwitch displays an icon in the system tray
that indicates which layout is currently active and enables layout
switching by clicking the icon or by right click and selecting layout
from a popup menu. Note that KKBSwitch does not help you configure
XKeyboard. This means that you still have to configure XKeyboard by
editing the XF86Config file or use a setup program to do it for you.
KKBSwitch is a KDE application, but is reported to work under GNOME as
well.
