NAME
       xkbsel - select keyboard layout


SYNOPSIS
       xkbsel [-v] [--debug] [-s] MAP
       xkbsel [-v] [--debug] {-n,-p}
       xkbsel {--help,--version}

DESCRIPTION
       xkbsel is a command-line interface for selecting the keyboards,
       suitable for installing as action bound to some key combination in a
       window manager, inclusion in scripts or plain command-line usage.
       xkbsel supports following options:

       -s MAP, --select=MAP
              selects the named MAP

       -n, --next
              select the next map in the ordering defined by the configuration
              file

       -p, --previous
              select the previous map in the ordering defined by the
              configuration file

       -v, --verbose
              be verbose

       --debug
              be very verbose

       --help output brief usage instructions

       --version
              output the version of the program

       The MAP can be specified either as full XKB name (e.g. xfree86(us) or
       sun/de(type4_de)), or as a shortcut defined in the configuration file.
       The options -n and -p only work when the current mapping was specified
       in the shortcut form - otherwise they select the first and the last map
       respectively.
