Dbus interface
Kbdd registers a dbus interface in order to notify a window manager about layout change and listens on this interface for incoming requests. This interface can be used in WM widgets to indicate the current layout.
The dbus interface has the following methods:
getLayoutName( uint32 )
|
returns a string representing the layout group name |
|---|---|
set_layout( uint32 )
|
sets current group |
|
returns current layout group id |
|
switches to the next keyboard layout |
|
switches to the previous keyboard layout |
The following events (signals) are available:
|
returns new group number |
|---|---|
|
returns name for the new group |
You can change the layout with the following dbus-send command:
dbus-send --dest=ru.gentoo.KbddService /ru/gentoo/KbddService ru.gentoo.kbdd.set_layout uint32:1
