Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it doesn't really do a nice job. |
| 26 |
It enabled alt+shift switching but changes the layout globally instead |
| 27 |
of just in the application that has focus, I don't get a tray icon that |
| 28 |
tells me the current layout and shortcuts (like CTRL+C/V for copy/paste) |
| 29 |
stop working when not in a latin alphabet layout (I use us (English), de |
| 30 |
(German) and gr (Greek) as layouts). |

I also posted in the KDE list but no one knows how to fix this :P |
