Nice work, this looks like something I myself would find quite useful! This seems like the perfect kind of thing for xmonad-extras, a sort of "no-man's land" for extensions that are hard to compile for one reason or another. ~d

Hi all,

Usage: either drop as XKBLayout.hsc in contrib/XMonad/Layout , add to xmonad-contrib.cabal and rebuild Or put into ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Layout as XKBLayout.hsc and run through hsc2hs Then follow instructions from the header. Basically just import and add to the layout hook.

xxkb can still be used as an indicator

I don't see any problems to include this in contrib: To compile XMonad core you need hsc2hs seeing as there is a file XMonad/Main.hsc. hsc2hs is included with ghc-6.12 and I'm almost certain that it was shipped with earlier versions too. XMonad core uses a hsc file too. Perhaps the XKB binding is somthing that should be part of X11 or a separate package on hackage. -- Adam
