Switching Between Multiple Keyboards

[ogobot]

Hello Forum:

I'm running Puppy 5.2.5. In the hardware setup, there's an option to add a second keyboard layout. (I use dvorak, my wife uses qwerty). I have added in the second layout, but can't for the life of me figure out how to switch between the two. Can someone guide me through?

Thanks.

If all did go well, you should have two keyboard icons in the tray to chose from.

Ah - I see I didn't add a second keyboard. I was in the "xorg" keyboard interface. There's an option for additional keyboard layouts but it's obviously not where I need to be. In the puppy setup menu I can't find any such option. Can you give me the path to it?

Sorry for the delayed response.

Appreciate the assistance.

Switching is possible:

I used this instruction: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/KeyboardLayouts

The problem now is to know which layout is active at the moment - I have to every time try and type several characters to learn that.

Can not find any way to have keyboard layout indicator on the screen. Would be grateful if anybody can help.

Been out of circulation for a bit. The Xorg switcher is very confusing (to simple minds such as mine) but I figured it out. Thanks very much for the help.

I think it threw me at first because I was using the 'change' option instead of the add option.
