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.

  • Arabic Alternative Keyboard Layouts Not Working/Missing on iOS4

    hi,
    I have two iPhone 4s, one running 4.0.1 and the other on 4.0.2, both have the same issue when selecting the QWERTY or PC keyboard layouts for Arabic they do not change and remain the same as the default layout. please sort this one out!
    thanks

    The QWERTY and PC layouts are only available when you are using a hardware keyboard. Is that what you are doing?
    please sort this one out!
    You are just talking to other users like yourself here. To ask Apple to fix something, use the channel they have set up for that:

  • Alternative keyboard layouts

    Hey everyone,
    So I was considering making the move from QWERTY to a keyboard layout that's a little more efficient, so I thought I'd take a poll to see
    who is using what kind of keyboard layout and why.  I'm curious about Dvorak, programmer's Dvorak, and colemak, and have been researching each of their individual pros and cons. I'm thinking Dvorak sounds like the best out of all of the above, but colemak sounds relatively intregueing as well.  so what's your opinion?

    Just to let everybody know I am now 28 years old. I first learned how to type in typing class in junior high. I was using the Qwerty layout. The only nice thing I can say about the Qwerty layout is that it's available at any computer you want to use without any configuration.
    Then I looked online for a better way to type and more efficient. That's when I learned about Dvorak keyboard layout. This was about four years ago. I stuck with it for about two years. I felt my right hand was doing a lot more typing than my left hand. It felt too lopsided for me. But that's just my opinion. I went on the hunt for something better than Dvorak and I found the glorious Colemak keyboard layout.
    I have been typing with it ever since. My hands are a lot more comfortable and I can type faster now. It took me a month to actually get comfortable with the keyboard layout. If you actually go to this Java applet on Colemak's website.
    www.colemak.com/Compare
    You can just copy and paste a body of text and click on Calculate it will analyze the typing and compare the three different keyboard layouts. I just hope it becomes an ANSI standard like Dvorak has. I hope that happens in the future.
    I just want everybody to know there is a third option out there and its great. If ever Colemak goes away I will be going back to Dvorak. I will never learn the Qwerty keyboard layout ever again.
    Just wanted to give my two cents worth.

  • Alternative keyboard layouts + Speakable Items

    Speakable Items is a great idea I'd like to use since I frequently use a tablet to sketch art and am out of reach of the keyboard. For some commands, Speakable Items works great (e.g. "Switch to Safari"), but many commands don't.
    This puzzled me, especially since some commands seemed to do something outrageously different than what I command. I cracked open some applescripts to take a look at what was going on, and it appears that Speakable Items makes use of very specific keycodes to emulate keypresses. The problem is the keycodes are only valid when using a standard U.S. "qwerty" layout. I use "dvorak", so pretty much all of the commands that utilize key mappings will fail.
    I'm not a lazy man, but I am quite busy. I would love to go through and modify the scripts to use the correct key codes if I had the time, but alas, it seems I am at the mercy of Apple fixing this unexpected bug in their software when ever they feel like it. There doesn't seem to be any place on the Apple web site to submit bug reports ala "Bugzilla", which is a shame. The only workaround I can think of is to temporarily switch back to a "qwerty" layout when ever one wants to issue commands, but this is a kludgey solution at best.
    So, if you ever wondered why Speakable Items would not work, and you're using a different keyboard layout, now you know.

    You can report the problem by emailing [email protected] with details. If you have an apple developers connection account you can report it at bugs.apple.com if I recall the address correctly. Please email the feedback address even if it seems futile - they probably won't reply but they do pay some attention to the messages. Since it's an accessibility related one, you could also report it to [email protected] where you're more likely to get some answer!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?
    EDIT: Here's some information on the topic however:

  • 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.

  • Can't set keyboard layout in X

    Hello!
    Some days ago X stopped setting XkbLayout to "no" despite me having specified it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf.

    Hey!
    I got some success with disabling iBus in .xinitrc:
    #### iBUS eviroment variables
    #export XIM="ibus"
    #export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
    ##export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
    #export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
    #export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
    #ibus-daemon -d -x &
    as well as having this config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    # Option "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt, caps:escape, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
    EndSection
    DIsabling iBus solved autoconfig of keyboard to "no", and the new config with the addition of XkbModel solved not being able to use AltGr. I recon there is some bug in iBus and the config for X has changed in some way. Also, writing ^ and ~ and other characters in URxvt works now, as it has not worked for a long time, probably some years. I always thought there had something to do with Awesome.

  • [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?

    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).

  • [CLOSED] Unable to set keyboard layout from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

    This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard-layout"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "cz,us"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
    EndSection
    I wrote the according to the wiki recommendations, but it doesn't work. Issuing setxkbmap -layout "cz,us" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" automatically after logging in serves as a temporary solution, but I'm highly interested in fixing the primary issue. I would greatly appreciate if someone helped my find the error in my config file and/or posted their way to change the xorg keyboard layout in order to compare it with my way and find the error. Also note that I'm using Awesome WM so desktop environment ways of setting the keyboard layout aren't applicable in my case.

    @chris_l: Thank you for your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf.
    I have found out that the actual problem isn't in the configuration file but in the actual keyboard (more accurately xorg) - the keyboard gets incorrectly identified and xorg seems to think that it's a pointer (mouse). When I connect a different keyboard, the layout gets set correctly, xorg just isn't setting the keyboard layout correctly to the keyboard that I use. I have filed a bug report so this thread can be considered closed.

  • Setting keyboard layout with Mate Desktop

    I use now Mate Desktop following the wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MATE>.
    Since mate-display-manager doesn't work, I use SliM with auto login.
    I'm using french dvorak keyboard (bépo), and I put it in System > Preferences > Keyboard, and removed the other one. But it's not working, it's using default US keyboard.
    Does anyone had the same issue ?
    Thanks.

    The DE doesn't matter if you change the keyboard layout in Xorg.
    Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us, ro(std)"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
    EndSection
    Make sure you don't have another keyboard section in some other xorg.conf (/etc/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf) or in a different *.conf file in the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/" folder. Because one may inhibit the other.

  • 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.

    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?
