[tty] how to put different keyboard layouts in terminal(no X11)

Hello!

I have pretty old PC and I wish to work in pure console. The problem is that I need Spanish and Cyrillic layouts and I can only manage to work with Spanish or Cyrillic/English(loadkeys /etc/.../kbd/layouts/...).(Cyrillic/Spanish is needed)

Also I do not know how to configure hotkeys to change layouts, after do loadkeys only way to change layouts is  right alt.


THX.

PS. Sorry for my English.

try to write aliases for changing your keymaps

create the .bashrc file in your home directory ( with your user! )
type this in it:

alias kbsp='loadkeys /etc/kbd/blah/blah/spanish'
alias kbcy='loadkeys /etc/kbd/blah/blah/cyrillic...'

logout and log in again, ready to use your aliases
