Neo-layout-viewer(1)

NAME
neo-layout-viewer - keyboard layout viewer for Neo 2

SYNOPSIS
neo-layout-viewer

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the neo-layout-viewer commands. NeoLayoutViewer provides an easy way to display the NEO 2 keyboard layout on screen.

The application window is an image of one of the six levels of the Neo 2 keyboard layout. If one of the Mod-keys (Shift, …) is pressed or released the display switches to the corresponding level.

The application window can be hidden and moved via keyboard shortcuts. All settings can be modified via config file.

OPTIONS
neo-layout-viewer doesn't support any command line options.

KEYBINDINGS
NeoLayoutViewer supports two keyboard shortcuts:

<Ctrl><Alt>q
    Hide/Show the application window

<Ctrl><Alt>n
    Move the application window around. This cycles the position of the application window between 8 different positions (each screen corner and centered on the screen edges.). The used positions can be reduced, see below.

Both shortcuts can be adapted by modifying the config file (see below).

CONFIGURATION
The single configuration file is located in ~/.config/neo_layout_viewer.conf. This file is created on the first start of the application.

The config entries in the generated file are commented to identify the meaning of those options. The most important ones are:

width
    The exact width of the application window. To avoid unexpected behavior on on other resolutions, the width argument is ignored if it exceeds the range
         [screen_width * min_width, screen_width * min_width]

max_width, min_width
    This relative values limits the application window size. As example, max_with = 0.5 restricts the size on 50% of the screen width. The height can't be restricted directly.

display_function_keys
    Whether to display the function key row

display_numpad
    Whether to display the numpad block

show_shortcut
    The keyboard shortcut to hide/display the application window

move_shortcut
    The keyboard shortcut to move the window around. To remove the shortcut just leave it empty.
