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
|
||||||
|
@end example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|

|
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
|
||||||
|
keyboard layout categorization described above. The command below loads the
|
||||||
|
French bépo layout:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
loadkeys fr-bepo
