I can (and have for test) added "ru" in KDE to the keyboard layouts. This gives while typing the keys the layout like this one: http://xahlee.info/kbd/russian_keyboard_layout.html The problem is: what is written as German labels on each key has nothing todo with what letter is produced. I tried with my solution that the German label on the key gives in most cases an idea about the produced letter. Look at my page http://www.unixarea.de/CyrillicKeys.png to get the idea, for example the German key labeled 'v' gives the Russian letter 'в', and the German key 'd' gives the Russian letter 'д'. Of course for a native Russian who is used to type on a Russian keyboard this isn't good because the keys are no longer in their usual place. But I'm not Russian and neither used to a Russian keyboard layout. Because the mapping 'German label to Russian letter' isn't perfect, I was looking for a method to label the keys as the above picture on my server shows. An additional method would be an OSK (On Screen Keyboard), like https://sourceforge.net/projects/florence/#screenshots but "typing" phrases with the mouse is also not very handy. Спасибо!
