The Keyboard buttons in the top bar switch the keyboard layout. The active one is marked, also when the layout was switched outside AIcove (the mark follows within a few seconds).
Setting them up: Settings tab, group Keyboard.
-
Keyboard buttons: one per line,
Label | command. Any command that switches the layout works, for exampleEnglish | setxkbmap usandGerman | setxkbmap de. - Which one is active: optional, a command that prints the active keyboard. The button whose label is in its answer is marked. Without it, the last button pressed is marked.
A machine with no lines there has no keyboard buttons. The lines belong to one machine, because layouts and commands differ.
Made from the guide inside AIcove (cove/data/guide.md); it opens with the ? button.
