[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.

[Solved]switch my keyboard layout (also, how to unify clipboard?)
ok, i want to switch between us and us intl layout. After reading the Xorg page in the great Arch Wiki i maded
a file called "11-switchkb.conf" in my xorg folder and writed into it:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, us intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle"
EndSection
and i happyli restared my X and... My keyboard stopped working ( i had to brute shutdown my notebook holding power button)
I also tried 10-switchkb.conf and didnt worked. What im doing wrong?
My second question i dont know how to explain it right... Im confused about copy and paste in linux, and it's seems weird for me,
sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt...
like when i highlight something in uzbl i can paste with shift+insert but
only while its highlighted. Sometimes i highlight what i want in vim and, even while its still highlighted, when i do shift+insert
in some other app it doesnt paste anything. and when i highlight in vim and paste in the same vim whith shift+insert it pastes
with a crazy indentation, but when i yank and paste it with 'p' it pastes correctly.
Is there a way to "unify" clipboard, in such a way i can copy-paste without trouble from any app to any other app?

Great answers, that was exactly what i wanted for my clipboard and Vim! (I'll read about buffers).
stqn : Nice script, i'll try to bind it to xMonad.
Karol: I can solve the issue with sqn script but im curious to why my X
does not detect my keyboard when i use the Xorg Arch Wiki way of

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!
MemphiZThis 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] Gnome default keyboard layout
Hi guys,
Can anybody please explain me why the following command works but the corresponding .conf entry does not?
setxkbmap -layout "us,pl,de" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XKBMODEL" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,pl"
Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
When using the .conf entry simply nothing happens.
Regards
EDIT
I was able to identify my problem. See the following:
The above .conf does not work since Gnome seems to fetch a default US keyboard layout from somewhere which I cannot figure out where it is. Without any invocation from my side Gnome assumes this US keyboard. However, I do not want to us the default US keyboard layout but the altgr-intl option.
Screenshot
So as a workaround I have to run setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl after Gnome had started. But I would like to understand how Gnome assigns the default keyboard layouts.
Last edited by orschiro (2013-06-26 07:57:29)I still do not understand where the default keyboard layout is taken from. However, I use a workaround and created a file .keyboard in my home directory which is launched after startup of Gnome and changes the layouts according to my setkxbmap settings.
More information.

[SOLVED]Per window keyboard layout
What is the right way to have per-window keyboard layout? The layouts are configured via /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi. No gnome/kde - just xmonad.
Last edited by Mr.Cat (2009-10-26 20:51:25)Seems, I'll have to answer this question myself. One way is to use xxkb. You should start it when your system starts (e.g. in .xinitrc). Its config (~/.xxkbrc) might look like this:
XXkb.controls.two_state: no
XXkb*label.text.1: E
XXkb*label.text.2: R
XXkb*label.text.3: H
XXkb.mainwindow.type: tray
XXkb.mainwindow.label.enable: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.enable: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.appicon: no
XXkb.mainwindow.geometry: 12x14+0+0
XXkb.mainwindow.label.background: black
XXkb.mainwindow.label.foreground: white
XXkb.mainwindow.label.font: xft:Monospace-11
XXkb.button.enable: no
Check out man xxkb for further information.

[SOLVED]Setting x11 keyboard map PERMANENTLY for all.
Read carefully through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg.
Ran 'localectl set-x11-keymap gb' as instructed. Confirmed this creates: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
Ran 'grep "config directory" /var/log/Xorg.0.log' which confirms that this /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is where it's looking.
Ran 'grep "xkb" /var/log/Xorg.0.log' which confirms that 'Option "xkb_layout "gb"' is the ONLY one found. (it appears several times).
But setxkbmap -print -verbose 10 shows xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev" }
and the keyboard map is STILL 'us'. @=" etc...
Reread the wiki, still don't understand.
Typing 'setxlbmap gb' into a terminal works for the session.
Adding that to .xinitrc before the window manager command has NO effect.
I tried adding the option to 10-evdev.conf, but that doesn't do it.
So HOW DO you set the damn thing permanently? Clearly evdev is not logging what it is doing in Xorg.0.log, so where is it logging?
Something seems to have changed since the wiki article was written.

[SOLVED]Setting Default Keyboard
I am VERY new to Archlinux, and I am just installing it into OpenSuse/Virtualbox.
My question is so basic, it's embarrassing. When Archlinux first starts (in the shell), it defaults to the US keyboard. I have to issue the command "loadkeys uk" everytime.
How do I get it to start up with the UK keyboard configuration?
My apologies again for such a basic question
Thanks in advance

[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.
Last edited by C5OK5Y (2012-12-28 15:01:25)@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.

Cinnamon keyboard layout [solved]
I've just installed cinnamon and looks great. Except I can't see where to set the keyboard layout. There doesn't seem to be a keyboard layout icon on the panel and if I go into cinnamon settings->keyboard all I get are a couple of tabs saying Typing and Keyboard Shortcuts but no keyboard layout? And ideas please? Many thanks

[SOLVED] trying to get my keyboard layout to work, & hal to mount..
hi,
prior to the recent xorg upgrade, i had my xorg.conf set my keyboard layout, and hal would automount my phone in pcmanfm. since the xorg update, for the sake of not having to to set up the new hotplugging, I disabled it in my xorg.conf so my keyboard would keep its layout.
obviously though, with hot plugging switched off, hal wont mount my phone, so i am trying to get my keyboard set up and get hal automounting.
i have set Option "AutoAddDevices" "True" in my xorg.conf
i have edited /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi as follows;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
keyboard otherwise). -->
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">kbd</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"

</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">gb</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
</match>
</device>

basically, my keyboard is still in us layout, and hal still wont mount my phone even after restarting X! what have i missed?
Last edited by ninjaprawn (2008-12-16 20:29:09)ok, i managed to fix the problem. i edited the .fdi file as follows;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
keyboard otherwise). -->
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">gb</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
for some reason, logiaccess and kbd work in xorg.conf, but no in hal? instead, evdev can do everything! -
Hi
I am an italian user of FCS.
As we know the program works by recognizing only the English keyboards. Every time I start the program I must set the keyboard layout in the Default US mode. Is there a way to avoid this? Or, at least, can automate this on startup? I recently purchase the Logickeyboar for FCS but the problem is still there. Thanks for the help.I've been going crazy with this issue for the last 5 years of my professional life. FCP has advanced in versions but nothing has been done about this. I would be glad if someone could post a workaround, as I think my issue is very similar to the one described by luketheduke.
IF OSX is installed in French with a French keyboard, then everything's fine — you get a default French keyboard layout. However, if you're like me and you prefer an English OS but you work in France, all you have (physically) are French keyboards. QWERTY is not an option since most of the work is done in French (email, research, titling...) From my experience, it is impossible to have a predictable behavior when launching FCP in an English OSX with a French keyboard.
If you switch the languages order in the Languages & Text preferences pane *just before* launching FCP, then you get a working French layout if you don't forget to select Keyboard > Default French Layout from the Tools menu (all the above is displayed in French, of course). You have to do it every time.
I found a solution to the first problem (switching languages in the Languages & Text preferences pane) described by Tallama [here|http://superuser.com/questions/42791/can-i-change-the-default-language-of -a-application-program-in-snow-leopard].
Basically it boils down to this:
defaults write $(mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -raw /Applications/Final\ Cut\ Pro.app) AppleLanguages "(fr, en)"
This makes FCP launch in French instead of English while still keeping the entire OS in English. However, this does not solve the keyboard layout menu problem. You still have to select the default French layout, but at least now it works.
I would be grateful, too, if someone could sort this mess out.
Thanks.

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Hungarian keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
* Case 1
* MacBook Pro with HU101 Keyboard
* Locale: Hungarian
* Mac OS X Maverics 10.9.2
* Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.6
* Remote
* Case 1
* Windows Server 2003 R2 (English)
* Case 2
* Windows Server 2008 R2 (English)
* Case 3
* Windows 8.1 (Hungarian)
## Detail of bug
When I connect to the listed remotes the client sets the keyboard layout to Latvian which is a completely different layout than Hungarian (not even close...).
- On Windows 8 if I set the language on the login screen it stays on that language after the login.
- On Windows Server 2003R2 and 2008R2 even if I set the language at login it will switch back to LV after the login.
## Attachments
Unfortunately cannot include my shots because I'm not allowed to do this...
## End of report
Please allow the users to set the correct "target" language on connection basis because the automatic method the app use to determine that is unreliable.Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will forward this to the product team.
Thanks.

Windows 8.1 is driving me nuts beyond believe once again. I have 8.1 Pro update 1 English, installed from the VLK iso from our Volume License / SPLA account. As we are a Dutch company, the Location is set to The Netherlands, as well as the date/time format.
Therefore in my keyboard settings the language is Dutch (NL) but I set my keyboard layout to US, as below:
As you can see there are no other languages our installed. This worked for years with Windows 7 and before with XP. Windows 8.1 however KEEPS changing my keyboard layout to plain Dutch making my keyboard unusable. The language bar in the systemtray, or whatever
it's called in this OS, shows THREE layouts, which are actually 'selectable' and work as if they were installed. However, they are not 'really' installed, as per the screenshots above.
This is driving me completely mad. Why on earth is Windows making descisions for me which I should be making myself? In addition, in my oppinion Windows should NEVER change somthing as trivial as a keyboard layout by itself. People don't change switch keyboard
even when logging on to a remote system that has a different layout configured. Whoever came up with this 'automatic switching per application' idea once again had no clue of real-life usage at all.
I've added those two languages I do NOT want to my keyboard layouts and removed them. Sure they are gone then, and as only language NLD with layout US is left, the language bar in systray is gone as well. After a few days all three are back, and my keyboard
is producing wrong characters again.
I've tried with regvalue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout set to 1, to no avail at all. It just keeps changing. This should help to prevent my keyboard when changing when I RDP to one of my servers.
The advanced settings in Language don't help either:
'let me set a different input language for each app window' is unticked.
Override for default keyboard is now set to Dutch - US, like I want it. Doesn't help either.
I cannot reproduce it on demand, settings do NOT change when connecting to my RDP server(s). They do NOT change when I open any of my used programs, being IE, Chrome, CMD.exe, notepad and a few others. It shouldn't either as I disabled the 'keep settings
per application'.
I have changed the keyboard shortcut from alt-shift or whatever it was to 'none'.
How to prevent Windows 8.1 completely from changing the keyboard layout I use? Is there any way to check WHY or WHAT actually changes my keyboard?This might be really late to this post but I've been having this issue while playing games, particularly those which are complex enough to require Control, Alt, Shift. At first like some people here suggested
Windows Key + Space was the cause, but even after removing all alternate layouts (for reference, I want the UK layout, but it was switching to the US Layout) it was persisting.
This post pointed me in the right direction, go into your Language Options
> Change Override (Advanced). At this stage I've noticed there is the Switching input methods section, look for
Change language bar hot keys and here I fount Alt + Shift
was being used for switching Between input languages - a key combo I'd probably hit quite often just purely by accident. You can change the key sequence to no binds.
I haven't fully tested it, but it appears to be working for now - and I hope its an extra option for people to look at if they're running into this issue. -
Do the french and portuguese apple keyboard layouts have the same characters?
Sometimes I have to type in portuguese which is impossible with a british keyboard because they have accented words, but since the french language does and there's an option for a french keyboard on the online store custom orders, I was wondering if I can just order it in french layout and then change the language settings to portuguese. Does anyone know if it is possible? Thanks.

No true. First you can type all the accents with the British keyboard by just using the normal Mac deadkey shortcuts. Here is a chart"
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/diacritics.html
Second, you can set the keyboard layout to Portuguese in system prefs/language & text/input sources and then use keyboard viewer to see which key does what. Keyboard Viewer is activated in the same place as the keyboard. -
