[SOLVED] application for switching keyboard layout per window?
by lqmsh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RK7S)
I find myself typing in two or three windows or applications back and forth.
Typing non-English characters in one window and English in another is usual.
I have to switch keyboard layout every time I switch window to window.
I'm so tired of it.
I know switching keyboard layout per window can be set in desktop environments like KDE, XFce4...
But in window manager, I only found a lua script for AwesomeWM here

Sadly, I don't find any way for any other window manager like dwm, i3, etc...
I use AwesomeWM and dwm. In dwm, I am having to type without that nice functionality.
I have set xorg keyboard setting like this
Code:setxkbmap -layout us,mm -option "grp:alt_space_toggle"So, is there any application or any way to configure switching policy or add functionality on this part Code:grp:alt_space_toggle.
I consider ibus but it's too big and I'm not sure that is what I want.
