DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the kkbswitch command.

       This  manual  page  was  written  for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
       because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead,  it
       has documentation in the KDE handbook format; see below.

       kkbswitch is a keyboard layout indicator for KDE.

       It is useful when you have configured the XKeyboard extension of your X
       Server to have more than  one  keyboard  group  (layout),  for  example
       US/ASCII  and  Russian.   KKBSwitch displays an icon in the system tray
       that indicates which layout is  currently  active  and  enables  layout
       switching  by  clicking the icon or by right click and selecting layout
       from a popup menu. Note that KKBSwitch  does  not  help  you  configure
       XKeyboard.   This  means  that you still have to configure XKeyboard by
       editing the XF86Config file or use a setup program to do  it  for  you.
       KKBSwitch  is a KDE application, but is reported to work under GNOME as
       well.
