Re: [Gambas-user] How to Change Keyboard Layout

[Charlie O. <ch...@co...>]

If you are using *buntu/Mint etc (and maybe other distros) you could try 
this: -

*Public Sub Form_Open()**
**Dim sKBFile As String[] = Split(File.Load("/etc/default/keyboard"), 
gb.NewLine)**
**Dim sLine As String **
**
**For Each sLine In sKBFile**
**  If sLine Begins "XKBLAYOUT" Then **Print sLine**
**Next**
**
End
*
Output using a UK (gb = Great Britain) keyboard is: -

*XKBLAYOUT="gb"

*Charlie*
