NAME
       xkbsel-aw - select keyboard layout using a Xaw GUI


SYNOPSIS
       xkbsel-aw [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       xkbsel-aw is a simple GUI for selecting the keyboards and indicating
       the current selection. It displays a window where the current selection
       is indicated.  When clicking on this window, a menu of the configured
       map shortcuts together with the descriptions pops up, allowing to
       select one of them.  installs the first configured map when started.

OPTIONS
       xkbsel-aw has no own options, but it accepts common Xt options such as
       -display, -geometry, -bg or -fg. As the map descriptions are normally
       written in local language, xkbsel-aw is using font sets instead of
       fonts to allow automatic encoding selection based on current locale.
       That means that -fn will not work. Use fontSet for this purpose, either
       on the command line using e.g.
       -xrm '*fontSet: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-*-*'
       or use application default file.

EXAMPLES
   Fvwm2 configuration
       Following lines added to .fvwm2rc will automatically start the selector
       on login:

              Style "xkbsel-aw" NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip

              AddToFunc "InitFunction" "I" ...
              [...original stuff...]
              + "I" Exec exec xkbsel-aw -geometry 48x24-0-0 &

       If you are using FvwmWharf or FvwmButtons modules, instead of starting
       and explicitly positioning xkbsel-aw in InitFunction you can dock the
       application into them using the Swallow directory, e.g. by adding
       following line into your FvwmButtons configuration in .fvwm2rc (should
       be written on single line):

              *FvwmButtons(Swallow (NoHints) "xkbsel-aw"
                'Exec xkbsel-aw -geometry 48x24')

       To switch the keyboards on ctrl-F1, -F2 etc., add something like this
       into your .fvwm2rc:

              Key F1 A C Exec exec xkbsel us
              Key F2 A C Exec exec xkbsel sk
              Key F3 A C Exec exec xkbsel cs

FILES
       /etc/xkbsel.conf
              system configuration file

       ~/.xkbsel/xkbsel.conf
              user's configuration file
