Change keyboard layout when using a keyboard or other
Well, I was deep reading into setxkbmap options and changing layouts posts, but I don't find what I need. The problems is the following:
I have a laptop running Fedora 23 Cinnamon Spin, the laptop use es_latam layout, but in the office I use an USB keyboard with es_ES layout. I have both layouts configured in the OS, but I have to change it manually.
The question is:
Is there a way to detect what keyboard I'm using and set the keyboard automatically according to this ?
linux x11 keyboard keyboard-layout

How about a shortcut in tray ?
Command line solution:
System-wide locale settings are stored in the /etc/locale.conf file, which is read at early boot by the system daemon
To show the current settings, use the status option:
localectl status
you might see a result like this
~]$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us
X11 Layout: n/a
list keymaps:
localectl list-keymapschange console keymap:
localectl set-keymap jp106change x11 keymap:
localectl set-x11-keymap us
if you want to set British English as your default locale, first find the name of this locale by using list-locales. Then, as root, type the command in the following form
localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8

The best approach i found was with the cinnamon keyboard options, where there is an option to change keyboard distribution with a key. I personally use the scroll lock button (because i don't use it to anything else). In the System Configuration -> Keyboard (Hardware Section) the tab "Layouts" have an "Options" buttons, and the "Change Layout" option is there. Sorry if i'm mistaken with the names, but my Fedora is in Spanish.
