    Can't switch keybord layouts

    I wanted to set the right Win key to be a third level key and added the euro sign in the E key under Kmenu->System Settings->Regional & Language->Keybord layout->Xkb options. The euro sign works ok but now i cannot switch between English and Greek (my two keybord layouts). Under the Xkb options menu i set the Alt+Shift combination for layout switch but it doesn't work. Any ideas? I tried to change those settings under kcontrol as well but it didn't worked out.

    the guy is also Greek so you too have something in common.

      It seems that as soon as i assign the right Win key to bey a third level key in the Xkb options, it overrides the changes i have made to the ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals. If i'll disable all the layouts under the system settings then it works. The weird thing is that in the Xkb options, there is an option for Alt+shift for switching keybord layout but it doesn't work.

      Another thing that i notices now is that copy-paste doesn't work in firefox when i use the greek layout >

        Keytouch gives you a bit more control over your keyboard settings. It should be in your repository.
