A | A server agnostic way to persist keyboard changes is though [[wikipedia:systemd|systemd]]'s <source lang=console inline>localectl</source>. To achieve the same effect as with [[#setxkbmap|setxkbmap]] run this in a terminal: | ||
<source lang=console> | |||
<source lang=console | |||
localectl set-x11-keymap us,apl pc105 ,dyalog grp:switch | localectl set-x11-keymap us,apl pc105 ,dyalog grp:switch | ||
</source> | </source> | ||
This does not affect the current session, since it just writes the changes to <source lang=console inline>/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf</source>. <source lang=console inline>setxkbmap</source> should be used for testing if the layout is as desired. | |||
Unlike <source lang=console inline>setxkbmap</source>, <source lang=console inline>localectl set-x11-keymap</source> doesn't use flags so the keyboard model must be specified to change variant and options settings. <source lang=console inline>pc105</source> is a general catch all for common keyboards, a full list layouts can be found using <source lang=console inline>localectl list-x11-keymap-models</source>. | |||
