Command to switch between keyboard layouts

[dimit]

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

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.




Please remember to mark this thread title as [SOLVED] once you are done.

Thank you.
You are right, it is exactly the same.

you can also use setxkbmap command
('setxkbmap de' switches to German layout)

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.
