keylayout's Introduction

Usage

These instructions are valid in Ubuntu up to 16.04 at least. It may break if you're using Wayland instead of X11.

You can do it manually, or using GNU Stow and the provided stow_setup scripts.

Manual Process

  1. Copy the keyboard definition file (e.g. us_rod) to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols.

  2. Open the layouts file (/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml), above the <layoutList/> closing tag, paste the XML snippet with the layout definition (e.g. us_rod_layout.xml).

Using GNU Stow

  1. From the parent directory: sudo stow -t /usr/share/X11/xkb keylayout

  2. cd keylayout && sudo ./setup which installs the layout xml

Notes

In the layout definition's shortDescription tag, only some results are accepted, such as "en" or "pt". If you pick, for example, "us", the keyboard icon in the panel indicator will still be active, but will have a dark background.

To reload changes you must the X session (in Gnome: Alt-F2 r )
