[SOLVED]Per window keyboard layout

Question

What is the right way to have per-window keyboard layout? The layouts are configured via /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi. No gnome/kde - just xmonad.

Answer 1

Seems, I'll have to answer this question myself. One way is to use xxkb. You should start it when your system starts (e.g. in .xinitrc). Its config (~/.xxkbrc) might look like this:
XXkb.controls.two_state: no
XXkb*label.text.1: E
XXkb*label.text.2: R
XXkb*label.text.3: H
XXkb.mainwindow.type: tray
XXkb.mainwindow.label.enable: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.enable: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.appicon: no
XXkb.mainwindow.geometry: 12x14+0+0
XXkb.mainwindow.label.background: black
XXkb.mainwindow.label.foreground: white
XXkb.mainwindow.label.font: xft:Monospace-11
XXkb.button.enable: no
Check out man xxkb for further information.
