Carillon - ultra simple keyboard layouts
Carillon is a simple GTK3 application for switching your keyboard layout. If offers a basic systray icon and menu for switching between a set defined manually.
I created this because there aren’t that many applications like this out there for light desktop environments such as Openbox et al.
Quick Start
This assumes you have a modern Python installation available (Python 2.7+ or 3.4+). To install, get via pip:
$ pip install carillonNow run the command carillon.
Configuration
Carillon looks for a YAML configuration file named default.yml in a number of locations and uses the first match:
current working directory
XDG config directory e.g. ~/.config/carillon
/etc/carillon/conf.d
/etc/carillon
directory of package install
This YAML file defines a map of possible keyboard layouts and the selected layout. For example:
---
# map of keyboard layouts with unique key name for each
keyboards:
# Irish keyboard with Macintosh variant
en_mac_ie:
name: English Mac (IE)
icon: ie.png
variant: mac
model: pc105
layout: gb
# International US English layout
en_us:
name: English (US)
icon: us.png
model: pc105
layout: us
# Default selected on startup is Irish keyboard
selected: en_mac_ie1 maintainer
