Hi Guys,

For the next updates of MX Linux, would it be possible to add LUXEMBOURG and the keyboard layout "Français-Suisse" ?



Thanks Guys.

Best regards from Luxembourg.

that's potentially pretty tricky. what is the keyboard layout code for such a thing

(possibly contained in /etc/default/keyboard if you've set it up).

I believe there is french-switzerland setup. is that it?

here's the preview of the "French (Switzerland)" layout in KDE MX23/bookworm

not sure which tool to use under XFCE (or setxkbmap code) but this is included already

[baldyeti]

from the command line, could you try the following

Code: Select all

setxkbmap ch,fr

It's already included. You need to look with keyboard layout settings for "German" layouts, which this "variant" is based on.
Layout: German(Switzerland)
Variant: French(Switzerland):
For LiveUSB keyboard boot parameter would be kbd=ch kbvar=fr

from the command line, could you try the following

Code: Select all

setxkbmap ch,fr

the command would be with a space between layout code and variant code:

Code: Select all

setxkbmap ch  fr

or with options displayed:

Code: Select all

setxkbmap -layout ch -variant fr

otherwise the command "setxkbmap ch,fr" would set two layouts for "German(Switzerland)" and for "French".
