Re: [orca-list] autodetection of keyboard layouts?

[chrys87 <chrys87 web de>]

Howdy list,

ok I finished that one. now you can toggle between keyboard layouts.
its called toggle-keyboard-layout.
just install it via the plugin manager. assign a key and have fun.
ahm important note.. its a "advanced" plugin because we have to play 
with orca internals. so you have to set the "loadmodule" checkbox while 
asign a key (in the window after selecting the plugin for installation). 
without that i wont work :).

cheers chrys
