Hey Mark; hot enough for you?
I need to type some German documents, so I would like to use a German keyboard. My daughter's Mac had a nifty gadget that allows her to switch her keyboard from English to Spanish when she types papers in Spanish. It has a cute little Spanish flag on her menu bar and it also popped up a keyboard map so she could see where the extra accented keys were located when she typed in Spanish. Is there something similar for Gnome/Debian testing?
I can switch the keyboard using System->Preferences->Keyboard to a German keyboard, but I would like a visual representation of the keyboard to know where the keys are located (ie qwerty is actually qwertz on a German kezboard=. There is supposed to be a gnome applet called keyboard indicator, but I can't seem to find it on my system or find it in the Debian repository. The references I have seen are to click on a a panel and select "keyboard indicator" to install it....but I ain't got one of those darn things as an option! Very frustrating!
Thanks!
Mark
