change keyboard layout?

Open harenber opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

First of all: thanks for this extremely nice piece of software. You really did a great job.

More a question than an issue:

I am using a (German) BT keyboard which works fine, but the layout does not really match. In the terminal, the "/" (shift-7) gives a "?", the umlauts are not reachable (okay, could live without), but the "|" and the "/" are not reachable at all and so are all F keys (I assume the F keys are caught by Android and there is little you can do about it). Is there any way to change the keyboard layout inside the app? I tried the settings from the start menu, but either the App crashes or the layout is completely rubbish.

Thanks again!!

I have the same problem: if I try to change the keyboard to spanish, all the environment crashes.

same problem here my keyboard is set to french in android and works perfectly In debiannoroot the special character are completely messed up : a lot return ^ if ihit 6 and 4 (without maj) i get numbers which is coherent with english layout) but 1 returns & (which is coherent wit french layout)… I could have done with it but without - and . its starting to begin complicated.

In xfce default configuration is english if I modify debianno root broke, I have to desinstall and reinstall everything…

ok solved : you put on androidyour keyboard to english then back to debinnoroot you use setxkbmap (maybe set-local would work permanently?) You have to use it each time or maybe you can set it as a xfce starting script
