Lightbulb Setting custom layout

Important: Read below to set a custom layout to your external keyboard!

If your external keyboard has a custom layout (french, german, dvorak or anything else), you can choose it with the attached script.
Copy the file to the root of your kindle and remove the .txt from the filename (the forum doesn't accept sh file attachments).

Then, run the script from kterm, with the keyboard language as parameter.

Example:
Code:
./setlayout.sh fr
You can also add a keyboard variant:
Code:
./setlayout.sh 'fr(bepo)'
(note the apostrophes)

This is not a persistent change, so you need to run the script after each reboot!

(you can check the /usr/share/x11/xkb/symbols folder for available languages and variants)
