==== Gnome 3 ====
==== GNOME ====
 
===== 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):
 
[[File:Gnome-kbd-setup-1.png|frameless|GNOME Keyboard Step 1: Open Activities Menu]]
 
Search for "startup." When the Startup Applications program is highlighted, press the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key to open it:
 
[[File:Gnome-kbd-setup-2.png|frameless|GNOME Keyboard Step 2: Search for Startup Applications]]
 
Select the ''Add'' button on the right-hand side:
 
[[File:Gnome-kbd-setup-3.png|frameless|GNOME Keyboard Step 3: Click the Add button in Startup Applications window]]
 
Provide a name, enter your <code>setxkbmap</code> command, and click ''Add'' when finished:
 
[[File:Gnome-kbd-setup-4.png|frameless|GNOME Keyboard Step 4: Enter the relevant information for your command]]
 
===== 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
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=apl-keyboard
Name=apl-keyboard
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
</source>


==== LXDE ====

[[File:Lxqt-add-autostart.png|frameless|LXQt add a new autostart menu item]]
[[File:Lxqt-add-autostart.png|frameless|LXQt add a new autostart menu item]]


Name it whatever you want, and enter a <source lang=console inline>setxkbmap</source> command that suits your taste. Shown above is the same command as detailed [[Typing glyphs#setxkbmap| in the setxkbmap section]].
Provide a name, enter your <code>setxkbmap</code> command, and click ''OK'' when finished:


===== Terminal =====
===== Terminal =====
Line 117: Line 154:
X-MATE-Autostart-Delay=0
X-MATE-Autostart-Delay=0
</source>
</source>
This is similar to the process for other methods, such as LXQt, but has some MATE-specific configuration as can be seen above.
