Sooo, I have the lucky situation that my Laptop is from England, while I am german.
This is my keyboard:
And this is what I need:
Now how do I do that?
- In Systemsettings go to “Keyboard” and enable “custom layout”.
- Find the correct layouts you want (the “preview” feature is very useful) and set both first and second language
Make sure “OSD on layout switching” is enabled.
Now you need a key you can use for switching… I never use CapsLock so I do this:
- Under “advanced” I set “Capslock” to “disabled”
- Down in “Switch to different layout” I set “use Capslock key”.
This now allows me to use the useless capslock key to easily switch between English and German.
I am curious about the “use custom XKB type” setting. It seemed to break the Capslock switch. Are there any templates or documentation on how to use them?
Cheers!
