xorg / X11 keyboard configuration

==> xkb model, layout and variant

setxkbmap -query

  • list current xkb keymap config

localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts

  • list xkb layouts, e.g. "de" for German and "no" for Norwegian

localectl list-x11-keymap-variants de

  • list xkb variants for the layout "de", e.g. "nodeadkeys"

cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst

  • list all models, layouts and variants with description

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

  • persistent xorg keymap

localectl --no-convert set-keymap de-latin1-nodeadkeys

  • generates /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

setxkbmap -rules xorg -layout de -variant nodeadkeys -option "grp:alt_caps_toggle"

  • temporarily change xorg keymap

man xkeyboard-config

  • OPTIONS -> Switching to another layout
    • grp:alt_caps_toggle <=> Alt+Caps Lock

man setxkbmap and https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/input/XKB-Config.html

  • XkbVariant - variant(s) of the layout you intend to use
  • The XkbVariant option has been left out. That means the default variant named "basic" is loaded.
  • equivalency between "00-keyboard.conf" config file and "setxkbmap" command
