Using xinput and setxkbmap utilities, you can set from terminal so that each keyboard to have a different layout.
|
|
|
|
First, using xinput -list | grep key command, you have to find the device ID of each keyboard. Here s an example (my case):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ xinput -list | grep key
|
|
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
|
|
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ 2.4GHz 2way RF Receiver id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ HP Webcam id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ USB Keyboard id=16 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
↳ USB Keyboard id=17 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And second, using `setxkbmap -device <key_ID> -layout <layout_name>`, set the layout which you wish for each keyboard. An example (for my keyboards):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
setxkbmap -device 3 -layout ro #My master keyboard is set to Romanian layout
|
|
setxkbmap -device 10 -layout us #The keyboard with id=10 is set to English (US) layout
|
|
setxkbmap -device 16 -layout ru #The keyboard with i
|
|
setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
|
|
``` |
