==== MATE ====
===== GUI =====
Open your MATE menu (in the top-left corner of a default environment) and select ''Control Center'' at the bottom of the window:

Scroll down through the main window, and under the ''Personal'' category, select ''Startup Applications'':
[[File:Mate-kbb-setup-2.png|frameless|Scroll down to the Startup Applications option]]
Click the ''Add'' button on the right-hand side:
[[File:Mate-kbb-setup-3.png|frameless|Click 'Add' to add a new startup command]]
Provide a name, enter your <code>setxkbmap</code> command, and click ''Add'' when finished:
[[File:Mate-kbb-setup-4.png|frameless|Enter the setxkbmap command you wish to use]]
===== Terminal =====
Navigate to <code>~/.config/autostart</code> and create a <code>.desktop</code> with any name that will help you remember its function.
Add the following to the contents of your file, customizing to suit your needs:
<source lang=ini>
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=setxkbmap -layout us,apl -variant ,dyalog -option grp:switch
Hidden=false
X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=apl-keyboard
Name=apl-keyboard
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
X-MATE-Autostart-Delay=0
</source>
This is similar to the process for other methods, such as LXQt, but has some MATE-specific configuration as can be seen above.
