Thanks for the how-to! I was able to reproduce it however the switching
didn't work for some reason -- it even looked like XaAES/TeraDesk is
corrupted, had to reset aranym to get normal behaviour. For you it works
all right? Can you use any CTRL/ALT combo (there's two of them on PC
keyboard)

you will see current status as one of the following:
>
> < Switch keyboard layout, current: default       (uk) or
> < Switch keyboard layout, current: british(uk) or
> < Switch keyboard layout, current: russian(lv)

> What I need to change russian(lv) to russian(ru).

Interestingly, this is not hardcoded. It's taken from the country code
which is defined like this:

*/**
*[...]*

* *  3 = England     11 = Norway        19 = Russia     27 = Croatia*
*[...]*

* * 32 = Latvia      40 = Vietnam       48 = Bangladesh*
*[...]*

* */*

*static char countrycodes[] =*
*
"endefrukesitsefsgstrfinodksanlczhuplltrueebyuaskrobgslhrcscsmkgrlvilzaptbejpcnkpvninirmnnplakhidbd";*

As you can see, for some reason the index used isn't 19 but 32. This index
is taken from the _AKP cookie which is set by EmuTOS which in turn try to
create it based on NVRAM settings. So... did you set your NVRAM properly?

Yeah, it does look strange. It's really hardcoded like this:

*char *xa_strings[] = {*
*[...]*

* "default     ", *
*[...]*

I really don't know what purpose it's supposed to serve, there's only one
usage of this string, in about.c.
