I had added up English(US), Belgian(alternative), Tamil Keyboard layouts using the GUI.
How do I easily switch between these three layouts from terminal?
In Ubuntu 13.10, if your keyboard layouts are exactly in this order: English (US), Belgian (alternative), Tamil and:
if you have set English (US) keyboard layout, then:
to change to Belgian (alternative) keyboard layout, use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'be+oss'), ('xkb', 'in+tam'), ('xkb', 'us')]"
to change to Tamil keyboard layout, use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'in+tam'), ('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'be+oss')]"
if you have set Belgian (alternative) keyboard layout, then:
to change to Tamil keyboard layout, use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'be+oss'), ('xkb', 'in+tam'), ('xkb', 'us')]"
to change to English (US) keyboard layout, use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'in+tam'), ('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'be+oss')]"
if you have set Tamil keyboard layout, then:
to change to English (US) keyboard layout, use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'be+oss'), ('xkb', 'in+tam'), ('xkb', 'us')]"
to change to Belgian (alternative) keyboard layout, use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'be+oss'), ('xkb', 'in+tam')]"
Obs: These commands works only in Ubuntu 13.10 (and maybe later versions).
