# Set Layout with X Display
|
|
|
|
Set layout to British English.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
setxkbmap -layout gb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or Polish with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
setxkbmap -layout pl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Language | short |
|
|
|:--------|:------|
|
|
| Polish | pl |
|
|
| Serbian | rs |
|
|
|
|
Set 'alt + shift', as the command which cycles through the British English, Polish and Serbian keyboard layout.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
setxkbmap -layout gb,pl,rs -option grp:alt_shift_toggle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Alt_GR
|
|
|
|
Remap, e.g., the right Windows key, to Alt_Gr.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
key <RWIN> {[ ISO_Level3_Shift ]};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Set TTY Keymap
|
|
|
|
Copy your keymap, e.g. if it's polish-1, then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/pl1.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/*custom*.map.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then change that map:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo vim /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/custom.map.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|

You can switch Escape and Caps Lock with a single line:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo sh -c "gunzip -c /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/pl1.map.gz | sed 's/ Escape/ PLACEHOLDER/ ; s/Caps_Lock/Escape/g ; s/PLACEHOLDER/Caps_Lock/' | gzip > /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/custom.map.gz"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Change the default keyboard mapping to the custom map:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo 'KEYMAP="/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/*custom*.map.gz"' | sudo tee /etc/vconsole.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reboot to have changes take effect.
