Thank you and Mr. Adsen.<br>
However, I DO NOT follow you. <br>
I do not understand, what I am supposed to do with all those
programming like things.<br>
<br>
Then again, since I am in the middle of installing 16.04 ... all
this may not matter any longer ??<br>

<div>I'm using both the german and the english keymapping on my
machines. I don't really know about special character
languages like japanese behave but I guess it should be the
same, concidering the right locales are activated and
installed on your machine.</div>

present</div>
<div>setxkbmap -layout us,de # setup two keyboard
layouts. 'us' will be the default</div>
<div>setxkbmap -option grp:sclk_toggle # switch between
keyboard layouts via scroll lock key</div>
<div>setxkbmap -option grp_led:scroll # indicate that I'm
using the alternative layout (de)</div>

grp:lalt_lshift_toggle' in<br>
~/.xsessionrc and log out and back in. See 'man
