I write in french and I code in english. Is there a command to easily toggle between these two keyboard layout?

I could not find any other than setxkbmap or other similar command, but I would need to write a script to query current layout and depending on the layout, switch to the appropriate layout. Is there a better way?

Thanks!!

You can toggle smoothly between two keyboard layouts with the help of some combination of keyboard keys:

  • Key for go forward in layout list => Super+Space.
  • Key for go backward in layout list => Shift+Super+Space.

If this don't work, check the following setting. If it's not setup, then set this according to the following steps:

  1. Open the Activities overview and start typing Settings.
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Click Region & Language in the sidebar to open the panel.
  4. Click the + button in the Input Sources section, select the language which is associated with the layout, then select a layout and press Add.

  • Thank you for the answer. I can't upvote because I don't have enought points for it. Super+space was not working because I use a tiling management, but this answer worked for me: https://askubuntu.com/questions/209597/how-do-i-change-keyboards-from-the-command-line. – Gabriel Beauchemin-Dauphinais May 30 '20 at 19:37
