== Wayland ==
Currently, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_%28display_server_protocol%29 Wayland] uses [https://www.x.org/wiki/XKB/ XKB] for keyboards, but they are not modifiable during runtime using e.g. <code lang=console>setxkbmap</code> by default. The keyboard layout must be configured and then the session restarted.
=== GNOME Tweaks ===
The [https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tweaks Tweaks] tool allows configuration beyond the defaults enabled in GNOME.
# Install GNOME Tweaks using [https://wiki.debian.org/Apt apt] or [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF dnf], or by searching your distribution's Software Center.
# Start GNOME Tweaks by either:
## Using a terminal, type <code lang=console>gnome-tweaks</code> and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>.
## Using the GUI:
### Open the Activities menu; this is located in the top-left corner of a default GNOME 3 session (alternatively, use your <kbd>Super</kbd> key to open the Activities overlay):<br>[[File:Gnome-kbd-setup-1.png|frameless|Wayland Keyboard set up with GNOME Tweaks Step 2.1: Open Activities Menu]]
### Search for "Tweaks"<br>[[File:GnomeTweaks.png|frameless|200px|Wayland Keyboard set up with GNOME Tweaks Step 2.2: Start GNOME Tweaks]]
# Open Keyboard & Mouse Panel and enable "Show Extended Input Sources" <br>[[File:GnomeTweaksKeyboards.png|frameless|600px|Wayland Keyboard set up with GNOME Tweaks Step 3: Open Keyboard & Mouse Panel]]
# Open the Additional Layout Options and tick one or more of the options under "Switching to another layout"<br>[[File:GnomeTweaksKeyboardsAdditional.png|frameless|350px|Wayland Keyboard set up with GNOME Tweaks Step 4: Open Additional Layout Options]]
# Go to Settings → Region & Language → Add a new input source. Both English (United Kingdom) and English (United States) will have several APL layout options to choose from.
# Restart the session (for example, by logging out and logging in again).
