New keyboard layout

[efAston]

Hi all,

I'm currently using the Svorak keyboard layout, but want to be able to use IPA symbols, preferably using the Alt+Gr key. I noticed there's no existing IPA keyboard layout for KDE, so I made one, following instructions on this page

hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~mikosmul/computing/articles/custom-keyboard-layouts-xkb.html

I ended up making a new layout variant called "Sweden - IPA" under the Sweden file, and saved the changes to
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se
which had the existing Swedish layouts before I started.

I've restarted since saving the changes, and when I open the keyboard layouts under Regional and Language options, "Sweden - IPA" does not appear. What can I do to make this layout usable?

Cheers,
Aston

Here is what I added to the "se" file;

// Swedish Dvorak with IPA on Alt+Gr combinations
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "IPA" {

name[Group1]="Sweden - IPA";

include "se(basic)"

key <AD01> { [ aring, Aring, ɒ, ɑ ] };
key <AD02> { [ adiaeresis, Adiaeresis, ɐ, ɞ ] };
key <AD03> { [ odiaeresis, Odiaeresis, ə, ɜ ] };
...
