🦋 xkb-switch

okay so bestie, welcome to xkb-switch(1) — a whole C++ program that lets you query and change the XKB layout state. and like, this particular version? it can also subscribe to i3wm events. main character energy fr fr. 💅

✨ SYNTAX ✨

xkb-switch [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

xkb-switch is a C++ program that allows you to query and change the XKB layout state. no cap. it started life as ruby-based code written by J. Bromley — so yeah, a glow-up arc, we love to see it. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -s <layout> — set the current layout group to <layout>. you tell it which one, it goes there. slay. 🫶
• -l, --list — display all the layout groups. the whole roster. 👑
• -h, --help — display a help message. when in doubt, ask for help, it's giving self-care. 🌸
• -v, --version — show the version number. know your icon's lore. ⭐
• -w [-p], --wait [-p] — wait for a group change, then exits. and if -p is specified, it prints the new layout group. lowkey patient queen behavior. 🧚
• -W, --longwait — infinitely wait for a group change. not just patient — infinitely patient. she will wait forever, no cap. 😭
• -n, --next — switch to the next layout group. move it along, next! 💅
• -d, --debug — print debug information. for when you need the tea. 🍓
• -p — display the current layout group. just a lil status check, iykyk. 🦋
• --i3 — monitor and automatically switch layouts in i3wm. the i3wm bestie feature, honestly iconic. 🔥
