4MLinux has jwm as window manager, and you can configure a menu item to change keyboard map (see setxkbmap) http://techtimejourney.net/wp-conten...jwm.x70132.pdf

I found the following solution:
First, I copied /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
and edit it with Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
Next I added layout in /etc/kbd.conf
LAYOUT=us,ru (for example).
After reboot I can to switch keyboard layouts with alt+shift.

Bravo you!

To tell the truth I had no idea that such an option existed :)
