Take a look at /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst where you see that grp changes to another layout; "switch" means holding the shifting key to switch, whereas "toggle" means tap it without having to hold it down (like accessibility shift keys typically work). grp:toggle Right Alt appears to show the definition for AltGr, so your equivalent would seem to be grp:ctrl_alt_toggle Alt+Ctrl and your file shows the WinKey + SpaceBar definition. There are examples that use this last key combination in the Arch wiki. As for consoles, I've not used grp in keyboard definitions myself. > $ cat .xsessionrc I use /etc/default/locale to set locale variables, viz: $ cat /etc/default/locale # LC_CTYPE added to overall C # This file gets (generated and) updated by update-locale, # but the contents should remain stable under normal circumstances.
