UK Keyboard layout required

[fundutzi]

Dear All,

Done some searching. Some references to XkbLayout, setxkbmap, etc.

I have a UK keyboard. I want to use UK keyboard.

How can I change this on the fly in a terminal window?
How can I change this every time the system boot?

Your help will be much appreciated.

Regards

I have found the answer to the first question now.

In console window type:
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout gb

Still not sure how to specify this at start-up.

This seems to work:
1. run this in shell
loadkeys uk -> this will load /usr/share/kbd/..../uk.map.gz

2. Now you have to enable this, can do it in shell:

setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout gb

3. I also did it in the regional settings:
Add the gb option, and move it to the top so it loads next time.

I have no idea if there is a better way. I am new.
