✨ xkb ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to yambar-modules-xkb(5) — the manual page for the xkb module 💅 this one is honestly iconic in the simplest way: it just sits there watching your keyboard layout, and reports back. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

xkb — this module monitors the currently active XKB keyboard layout 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, the xkb module keeps an eye on two things for you: the currently active XKB keyboard layout 💖 and your lock-key states 🔥 that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly.

⚠️ heads up bestie ⚠️ this module is X11 only. it does not work in Wayland. not even a little. fr fr. 😭

🎀 TAGS 🎀

here's everything this module exposes, laid out all pretty for you bestie 🫶

  • name — type: string. the name of the currently selected layout, the long version (like, "English (US)" — she's giving main character energy, full government name 💅)
  • symbol — type: string. the name of the currently selected layout, the short version (like "us" — casual, lowkey, on a first-name basis ✨)
  • caps_lock — type: bool. true if CapsLock is enabled 👑
  • num_lock — type: bool. true if NumLock is enabled 🍓
  • scroll_lock — type: bool. true if ScrollLock is enabled 🦋

💜 CONFIGURATION 💜

ngl there are no additional attributes supported here — literally none, she's low-maintenance like that 🙈 you only get the generic ones (peep GENERIC CONFIGURATION in yambar-modules(5) if you need a refresher bestie 💖).

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay here's the whole vibe — drop this into your bar: config and your layout symbol will just appear ✨

bar:
  left:
    - xkb:
        content:
          string: {text: "{symbol}"}

look at that. flawless. ate and left no crumbs 🔥
