Description
Тapper is a keyboard layout selector for Gnome Shell, X Window System and Wayland. Tapper runs in background, when an assigned key is tapped, Tapper activates the corresponding keyboard layout. Tapper unique feature is using modifier keys for activating keyboard layouts without losing modifier's functionality. Tapper is developed and tested in Fedora and will likely work in other GNU/Linux distros. There are prebult RPM packages for Fedora, source tarball for configure && make is also available. Tapper is free software.
