To specify what each key of your keyboard does, you need to tell the operating
|
||||
system what @dfn{keyboard layout} you want to use. The default, when nothing
|
||||
is specified, is the US English QWERTY layout for 105-key PC keyboards.

We've discussed how to specify the @emph{default} keyboard layout of your

system when it starts, but you can also adjust it at run time:

If you're using GNOME, its settings panel has a ``Region & Language'' entry

where you can select one or more keyboard layouts.

Under Xorg, the @command{setxkbmap} command (from the same-named package)
|

allows you to change the current layout. For example, this is how you would
|

change the layout to US Dvorak:

@example

setxkbmap us dvorak

The @code{loadkeys} command changes the keyboard layout in effect in the Linux

console. However, note that @code{loadkeys} does @emph{not} use the XKB
