I am new in Linux.
My OS is Nadia with Cinamon 64bit.
I use two keyboard layouts, English and Greek.
I 'd like to ask which is the command to switch between the two layouts. I want to use it to create a keyboard shortcut.
Thank you

Re: Command to switch between keyboard layouts
I have Maya Cinnamon 64 but it should be the same.
Go in Menu --> Preferences --> Keyboard Layout--> Click on the Layouts tab --> Options --> finally click on Key(s) to change layout, and choose one.

Re: Command to switch between keyboard layouts
you can also use setxkbmap command
('setxkbmap de' switches to German layout)

Re: Command to switch between keyboard layouts
I've used this setup with Ubuntu, Mint, and Crunchbang.
Change the Danish dk to the Greek 2-letters.
Go to etc/default/keyboard and make changes that fix your situation:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,dk"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
The last line is what I've found very easy to use to toggle between languages.
I use my left little finger to touch both shift and control keys together.
