Description Changwoo Ryu 2014-11-30 07:25:25 UTC 
In the "Typing" section, XKB option settings are listed but all those options are assumed to be select-only-one style settings. But some XKB options have "allowMultipleSelection" tag so multiple choices could be selected.

For example in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml file,

    <group allowMultipleSelection="true">      
      <configItem>
        <name>grp</name>
        <description>Switching to another layout</description>
      </configItem>

Rui, this would be a nice bug to look at if you need a break from mutter - it would make the tweak tool xkb support much more useful.

xkb: Support multiple selection options

--

I hardcoded the list of options that allow multiple selection because
I don't want to add API to gnome-desktop at this point and this isn't
something that's going to change any time soon anyway. I'll include
this in a 3.20.1 resease.

Thanks Rui!

I think the ui would be less confusing if the non-multi groups would still use radio buttons and added a 'Disabled' alternative.
