Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux I'd like to set the language of an application in a persistant manner - i.e. via window behaviour. Sure it is quick to open a terminal and press Ctrl+Alt+K to change the language. But since I use Enlish, Castellano and German, sometimes French - I have my preferred language for several tasks. I'd like to see my terminal with English keyboard - KMail, OpenOffice, ... with German keyboard as the default setting. So far I didn't see an easy going way to make this setting persistant. Or maybe it would be wise to remember language settings per application - so no extra definition is nessessary and this would give you even the better ease of use.
See the keyboard layout configuration, in the "Switching Options" tab, there's "Switching Policy".
Yes, I already use the switching policy on per application level. I meant an other thing. But I'd like to have german as my default keyboard, with exeptions for several apps. i.e. if I open kterm I'd like that _without_my_iteraction_ the keyboard switches to english keyboard only for this application. I'm just tired to press Ctrl+Alt+K each time I open kterm, just to switch the keyboard on the kterm application level to english. Therefore I'd like the application to remember my keyboard setting - or to set a policy i.e. via window behaviour. As far as I understand this is not yet possible with kde-3.3.2.
I´ll take a look at it to implement in KDE4. But I´ll do it withing a bug 52095 as it provides pretty much the same functionality but is more generic. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 52095 ***
That would be awesome. Huge thank you!
