=== Raspberry Pi "Bookworm" onwards === | |||
Raspbian OS has moved to its own Wayland-based desktop environment "LXDE-pi-wayfire" in Bookworm. | |||
You can check that this is your currently running environment by inspecting the <syntaxhighlight lang=console inline>DESKTOP_SESSION</syntaxhighlight> environment variable. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=console> | |||
echo $DESKTOP_SESSION | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
The current user can modify their keyboard configuration using XKB options by editing the file <syntaxhighlight lang=console inline>~/.config/wayfire.ini</syntaxhighlight>. These options take effect while using the graphical desktop environment. | |||
Under the <syntaxhighlight lang=console inline>[input]</syntaxhighlight> section, set | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=console> | |||
xkb_layout = gb,apl | |||
xkb_options = grp:lswitch | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
to use the UK keyboard layout with a <kbd>Left Alt</kbd> APL shifting key. See the [[#setxkbmap|section on setxkbmap]] for more information about XKB keyboard configuration. | |||
To set the keyboard configuration for use in the terminal console outside of the Wayland GUI, modify <syntaxhighlight lang=console inline>/etc/default/keyboard</syntaxhighlight> to include: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang=console> | |||
XKBLAYOUT="gb,apl" | |||
XKBOPTIONS="grp:switch" | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
