cant’ make it go.
followed the website directions to a T and even added the symlink back to my layout in the root folder, and tried both ~/.xkb and ~/.config/xkb as well as defining the variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME in my .profile
the plasma keyboard settings page does not find the new layout.
i can use setxkbmap gng and use the new map for the session, so that tells me at least part of the codeaffin scheme is working, but it’s not playing nice with my plasma 5 kubuntu.
here is what i got, in case you can see something i can’t
symlink
