Problem setting UK extended keyboard layout

I have an UK keyboard but I want to use UK Extended (WinKeys?) layout.
According to the following I should use extd:
$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst | grep -i uk
ua Ukrainian
gb English (UK)
guru in: Punjabi (Gurmukhi)
jhelum in: Punjabi (Gurmukhi Jhelum)
ike ca: Inuktitut
phonetic ua: Ukrainian (phonetic)
typewriter ua: Ukrainian (typewriter)
winkeys ua: Ukrainian (WinKeys)
legacy ua: Ukrainian (legacy)
rstu ua: Ukrainian (standard RSTU)
rstu_ru ua: Russian (Ukraine, standard RSTU)
homophonic ua: Ukrainian (homophonic)
extd gb: English (UK, extended WinKeys)
intl gb: English (UK, international with dead keys)
dvorak gb: English (UK, Dvorak)
dvorakukp gb: English (UK, Dvorak with UK punctuation)
mac gb: English (UK, Macintosh)
mac_intl gb: English (UK, Macintosh international)
colemak gb: English (UK, Colemak)
Using localectl as suggested in the wiki does not work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _localectl
It enables extd as X11 layout but it does not work and it disables virtual console keymap, falling back to us layout:
$ localectl set-x11-keymap extd
$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
VC Keymap: n/a
X11 Layout: extd
The following is not working as well. The right X11 layout displays in X11 Layout but it is false:
$ localectl set-keymap uk
$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
VC Keymap: uk
X11 Layout: gb
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
So far the only way I have found to use uk layout is:
setkbmap gb

Can't say if it's working or not:
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
VC Keymap: uk
X11 Layout: gb
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf

US Extended keyboard layout map and question

Hi,
I am not on a Mac now, that's why I ask:
1. I need a map of the Apple US Extended keyboard layout, esp. how it works with the special characters and dead keys; where do I get this?
2. Which extended key combinations do you press simultaneously, and which do you press one after the other? So called dead keys.
I want to have this layout on a Windows computer. I know how to create any keyboard layout in Windows, perhaps there is a way to export the layout from OS X with a single click?

I was able to replicate the special characters in gray
but not the special characters (the dead keys?) in orange.
Yes, an orange key is a "deadkey". You type it and then you type the base letter to get the accented version. For example, on US Extended, option/alt plus a, then o, will give you ō (o macron).
I don't know how one creates deadkeys with the MKLC. They are found also in Windows layouts like US International, where ' is a deadkey for acute accent.

Problem with external USB keyboard layout that differes to the macbook one

I have a MacBook with a US keyboard layout and attached to an older (pre aluminium) japanese keyboard. As long as I stick in the normal mode (eg not japanese input) all keys work as they should. But if I switch to japanese input, the keyboard also switches to japanese input.
I suspect it is because in the Kotoeri Preferences under "Keyboard layout for Romaji" is US selected. But from this dropdown I cannot choose any japanese layout.
How can I fix this? This is really annoying, all the time when I input some japanese text and want to use any of the other characters (eg & or %, etc) I need to use the keyboard on the Laptop because else I do not get the correct characters.

I don't think that matters -- the point of this preference is to allow correct Hiragana input by people using non-US latin keyboards.
Yeah, neither do I ... but somehow os x doesn't see the correct keyboard layout once I switch to japanese input.
How can I fix this? This is really annoying, all the time when I input some japanese text and want to use any of the other characters (eg & or %, etc) I need to use the keyboard on the Laptop because else I do not get the correct characters.
Is it not possible using the JIS Japanese keyboard to make & and %? I see them for example on this picture of one.
If I view the keyboard viewer I see the correct japanese layout, but if I want to type the keys as shown there I get the input like on the US layout on the keyboard in the laptop.
eg shift+6 = &, but on us you get ^. so when I am in normal input I get the &, but if I switch to japanese input I get the ^. And this is really annoying, especially some keys "disappear". the ¥ (yen/backslash key) just doesn't work at all in japanese input.

Setting up alternative keyboard layout

I sometimes use a Russian keyboard and I'd like to get that set up. What packages do I need to install, and is there a wiki article that outlines how to go about setting that up?

when in X, you can switch between layouts with 'setxkblayout us' or whatever you want to set it to.
for most window-managers there's a taskbar-applet so you can easily click it.

How to set custom keyboard layout as default?

I've downloaded a german keyboard layout for normal PC keyboards from this page: http://www.nullpointer.de/stuff/keylayout/index.de.
Everything works fine. The layout is showing up in "Input Sources".
But for some reason I cannot uncheck the default "Apple German Keyboard Layout" as you can see in this screenshot:
The TickBox next to it is disabled...
This leads to the problem that in some applications that layout is being used (switched to) automatically instead of keeping the new one...
How do I set a custom keyboard layout as default and/or deactivate built-in one?
Thanks in advance!
MemphiZ

This has come up before, and I think it is not possible. The OS always keeps one of its own Latin keyboards active, and unfortunately I have not seen any way that these (located in system/library/keyboard layouts/applekeyboardlayouts.bundle) can be modified by the user.
PS Another possible source for "PC" layouts for people using that kind of hardware instead of Apple keyboards is the set of Logitech layouts provided when you download Ukelele.

[SOLVED] setting X keyboard layout

Hello!
I would like to set my X "keyboard layout" as is dictated here.
I created a file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-tipkovnica.conf" which i wrote like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "si"
Option "XkbVariant" "alternatequotes"
EndSection
When i wrote this i tried to check if it works, but when i type in command
setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
i get an error:
Setting verbose level to 10
Cannot open display "default display"
How can i solve this?

I thought so. That's why it's not working. You need to be in X (that's what "Cannot open display default display" means).
Thank you and LOL about the REPORT. Sorry moderator.

My keyboard layout has changed. I no longer have an @ key.

About an hour ago, my keyboard layout changed (but only when using firefox) so that, for example, Shift+2 no longer produces @, but rather double quotes ("). Also, pressing the [ key now produces nothing, but the next key I hit after it will produce a hat. Example, the [ key and a g will give ^g. There are other peculiarities, such as the / key now shows é, and a few others.
Everything I check on the internet seems to be telling me the problem lies in my keyboard layout settings in Windows, and possibly having to press LeftAlt+LeftShift (or just Alt+Shift) to readjust them, or bringing up the language bar, etc. But all of my efforts to fix language indicate to me that I'm currently operating with a US keyboard layout (which is what it`s supposed to be), and again, this ONLY happens in firefox and no other programs.
Any ideas?

See:
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)

Default keyboard layout

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I need to set the default keyboard to irish for user accounts. I can't seem to do it! when a user logs in they default to british. once logged in they can change it forevermore, but only on that machine. if they go to another one it defaults back to british.
HELP!

Similar problem here. After migrating from xserve 10.4.10 to an xserve 10.5.4 the default keyboard layout is U.S. instead of what the users had before (mostly german-swiss).
It would be very nice, if someone could give a hint of how to manipulate com.apple.systempreferences.plist to set a default keyboard layout.
Thanks in advance.

Where's the keyboard layout preference file?

I'm having an irritating problem with my preferred keyboard layout (Canadian) mysteriously reverting to other layouts, even though I have disabled all but the Canadian layout. It's only happening in one of my user accounts. So I'm looking for the keyboard layout .plist file to trash, but I can't find it. Can anybody help me locate it?
Thanks

Hello,
Check out this link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75066
When you originally set up your eMac, you would have used the SetUp Assistant... there's information at the link above that might help.
I've searched high and low for a preference file that might be related. You could trash your com.apple.systempreferences.plist but you would have to reset your System Preferences system wide. If you want to try that go to the user account in question. Go here: /Library/Preferences. Locate the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file and drag it to the Desktop. Open System Preferences and reset the keyboard (Canadian) and see if that helps. If that resolves the problem, then that com.apple.systempreferences.plist file should go to the Trash. The next time you open System Preferences your eMac will create a new pref file for you.

Unable to change keyboard layout for all users on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to support national keyboard layout for Danish for all users on that machine. When I ran the powershell with script Set-WinUserLanguageList
-LanguageList da-DK it only sets the Danish keyboard layout to the specific logged in user.However the for other users its same English(US) keyboard which is not expected.
Please help me how to set the Danish keyboard for all users on the machine. Its Urgent!Thanks

Hi Mike,
Thanks for reply.
But I need to configure everything using powershell script. Is it possible to use powershell script to setting group policy/ adding logon script ?
These are pretty basic administration tasks and almost always quicker to accomplish with the GUI. Why do you want to use a PowerShell script?

Two problems with setting up arch. Keyboard layout and wifi card.

Hi guys.
I have installed arch on my old laptop (LG le express) and I have two problems.
1. I wasn't able to create a Hebrew keyboard layout.
2. I don't know how to install my wifi card. (Ralink 2500).
as for one, I changed my xorg.conf to this:
section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "Xkbmodel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "KkbOption" "grep:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggel,grp_led:caps"
EndSection
but it didn't work.
As for 2, I have found this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … eta_driver
But I can't find how to install rt2x00
Thanks

If you edit the first post you can change the title, prepend it with [solved] (once all issues are actually solved). Also if you can post your working solution then it will be useful for others having similar difficulties. Please read the following links.
Mark threads as [solved]
Forum etiquette
As for your wireless issue, which tool are you using? A quick google around seems to suggest that netcfg in combination with wpa supplicant can connect to LEAP encrypted networks, eg this thread. Are you also aware that there are graphical tools to do this for you that you may find easier, such as wicd?

Keyboard layout problems in Gnome

I'm not sure if it was a recent upgrade that did it or not, but in gnome my keyboard layout is only half right. I checked the keyboard manager in the gnome menu and it was set to Generic 105 key (INTEL).
In xorg.conf the keyboard is listed as pc105. In KDE the keyboard works normally.

bgodea wrote:I changed the Gnome keyboard layout to "104 key PC" and also tried changing my xorg.conf, but I still have the same problem. In non-graphical and KDE it works fine
You also have to setup a valid layout for this kind of keyboard. That is done in the same dialog field. Then, what do you mean with "tried"? First off, if Gnome and X disagree about keyboard layout, Gnome complains loudly. Thus KDE is unilaterally setting the layout to something it likes. Check your Kconfig to find out what it is. Then find the section named InputDevice in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that looks something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
EndSection
Change it to resemble this example, if it doesn't. Check if your ServerLayout actually uses this InputDevice. Finally, is there anything else we should know about your keyboard? Do you run XGL/AIGLX?

[SOLVED] Keyboard layout not setting correctly after gnome 3.14 update

Hey all,
After the gnome 3.14 update my keyboard appears to be reverting to US when I want to have it set to UK layout. It was fine before the update, and I have i3 & XFCE installed and for both of those my keyboard layout is getting set to UK just fine, so it appears to be just the gnome 3.14 update that is the problem.
Here is my contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
Last edited by Morgy (2014-10-18 17:18:09)

My situation showed an extra issue related to this change.
After the upgrade I started getting two layouts (us,us) instead of just one (us).
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us,us
variant: ,
options: ctrl:nocaps
That broke my variant setting, which was altgr-intl (set via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf). I was able to manually set that to "altgr-intl,altgr-intl" (with setxkbmap), and that worked.
After adding an input source as described above, of "English (international AltGr dead keys)", everything started working again for my purposes, without manually running setxkbmap, but I still have the extra layout:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us,us
variant: altgr-intl,
options: ctrl:nocaps
Does anyone know a current method for completely disabling GNOME's keyboard management?
(I've tried several things from Google, but nothing seems to work for the current version).

[E17] lock and keyboard layout problems when suspend

Hello,
I just installed E17 on my Dell Vostro laptop. The main problem I have is related to the suspend mode.
In settings > screen > screen lock, I enabled the option "lock on suspend" and the keyboard layout is selected to "be (default, basic)" (I have a belgian keyboard).
When I use the menu system > suspend, the screen is locked. But when I suspend my laptop by closing the lid (I see the power light indicator blinking on the side, so it's suspended) the screen is not locked when I open it.
Also related to the suspend mode. The layout is set to belgian (in the screen config as explained above but also in vconsole.conf and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf). When I put the luks decryption key or when E17 starts at boot, I have the right layout. However when I resume the laptop after being suspended, the layout is switched to qwerty (en_us I guess).
Any idea why ?
Thank you
PS: this problem is maybe more related to E17 than to Archlinux but I haven't found any forum about enlightenment. If you think I have better chances somewhere else, let me know.

I was having problems with E17 after a fresh install (mixer problem, key bindings, etc), and I fixed it by deleting the configuration files at
~/.e
as the wiki says.
