XKEYBOARD-CONFIG(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual XKEYBOARD-CONFIG(7)
NAME
xkeyboard-config - XKB data description files
DESCRIPTION
xkeyboard-config provides the description files for the X Keyboard
Extension (XKB) and for libxkbcommon. Typically it is the task of the
desktop environment to apply the requested configuration. Users running
an X server can also use the setxkbmap(1) tool to apply keyboard
configuration at runtime or configure XKB settings in the xorg.conf(5).
XKB DATA FILES LOAD PATHS
xkeyboard-config provides the XKB data files installed in
/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2. User-specific data files may be
elsewhere but it depends on the tool whether those files are loaded.
For example, the libxkbcommon library will by default load XKB data
files from the user's home directory. See the libxkbcommon
documentation for details.
THE CUSTOM LAYOUT
The "custom" layout is a layout that is listed as available to tools
reading the data files but is not actually provided by xkeyboard-
config. A user may save a layout specification in the
/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2/symbols/custom file and that layout will
be available to most tools interacting with the xkeyboard-config data
files. This is primarily aimed at systems running X where additional
lookup paths cannot easily be added.
Because the "custom" layout is merely listed as available but not
provided by xkeyboard-config, the layout will not be overwritten on
updates.
