Switching Keyboard layouts

Switching keyboard layouts

In KDE every time I have to configure keyboard layout after logout even it's saved by default it doesn't even start when screen boots or when I login

Problems

Shortcut key works but doesn't switch the keyboard layout
Keyboard layout widget also does the same just shows the single layout
Following command not working
```
$ systemsettings msm_keyboard
```

Temporary works [Manual works]

To activate the keyboard layout popup on system tray

Jump directly to keyboard settings using
```
$ systemsettings kcm_keyboard
```
Then set whatever you want, If all settings are saved by default click on spare layout enable it then disable and apply it to popup the keyboard layout on system tray

Measures taken

Enabled the entry keyboard layout in system tray
Selected entry keyboard layout to shown always

But the entry keyboard layout didn't popup after the boot or after login

Temporary solution

Majically TTY activate the keyboard layout entry in system tray
Make a login script as
```
#!/bin/bash
sudo chvt 2
sudo chvt 1
```

Any other best suggestion any one can suggest

Change English layout as first layout

virat_17 · 16 April 2022 15:58

" English layout should be first "
That makes scene because passwords are typed in English

My Layout order

English US
Kannada Phonetic
Sanskrit Phonetic

Still those widget won't pop up in this case

Better to run the script for the short time I think
