Hi,
I'm a slavic user and most people around me are keen on switching the keyboard layouts using, either L_CTRL+L_SHIFT or L_ALT+L_SHIFT.
This is fairly easy to achive, but the real issue with X is that they work on key press, which makes it impossible to use hokey combinations like L_CTRL+L_SHIFT+TAB, as TAB is never reached.
I see this is achieved in Ubuntu via patch (BUG 865 in bugs.freedesktop.org) for xorg-server. Here in Debian I see xserver-xorg and things are quite diffent. I cannot apply the patch for xkbActions.c:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=122717
or use prebuild packages for ubuntu:
https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-18-04 ... -language/
Is there any chance of accomplishing this on key release action in some fairly easy way?
Regards

Re: xserver-xorg in debian 11 and hotkeys on release
I cannot patch it, because there is no such file in the debian source. Somehow, not only the names differ xserver-xorg (debian) and xorg-server (ubuntu), but also the source files in them.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Why not?

I could not identify file "xkbActions.c" in any of the debian xserver-input-* packages as well.
Tried also apt-file, but no luck.
