I think your words are better than mine, but katoob actually tries to initialize the arabic keyboard if it's "the keyboard" configured using the xkb extension. and if it fails, it'll display the warning. > I would like to change the language selection button to be a toggle > button, with a tooltip like "Use arabic keyboard emulation".

If katoob had initialized the keyboard it'll switch it, and the button will display "Arabic" just leave this now, cause the next version'll support any language. if you provide a simple configuration file "plain text" but i didn't yet settle its layout! > Do a user really need to tweak this setting?
