# gkrellm xkb plugin

Current version: 1.05 (ChangeLog)

## About

gkrellm-xkb is a plugin for gkrellm that displays a small country flag indicating the currently-active national keyboard layout and two small CapsLock/NumLock indicators. It also has a popup menu to switch between the keyboard layouts. The plugin requires gkrellm2.

The plugin uses the XKB X Window extension and doesn't work if the extension is either not available or disabled. It's enabled in the default configuration of XFree86 version 4 and above. Therefore the plugin should work on any modern *NIX installation.

The screenshot on the right is worth many words of description. It shows the flag and a tooltip which contains the name of the active keyboard layout.

Left-clicking on the flag shows a pop-up menu, from which the active layout may be switched. Right-clicking changes the active layout by switching to the next layout in a rotating manner.

The plugin doesn't work with the keymap switcher in KDE.
