Revision of Dvorak keyboard layout on Trisquel GNU/Linux from Sun, 03/31/2013 - 16:03
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
There are currently five English Dvorak layout variants
1. The ANSI Dvorak layout commonly known as "dvorak" on your Trisquel OS.
2. The original layout by Dr. August Dvorak "dvorak-classic".
3. Programmer's Dvorak "dvp"
4. The right/left-handed layout "dvorak-r" or "dvorak-l"
If your default keyboard is qwerty then you could try dvorak layout by the following methods:
Trisquel-Menu -> system settings -> keyboard layout -> layout(tab)
click on the + button and search your desired layout;
Or if you prefer gnome-terminal or xterm try these
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvorak
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvorak-classic
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvpk
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvorak-r
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvorak-l
optional layouts
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvorak-intl
$ setxkbmap us -variant dvorak-alt-intl
The variants can be found in the following file /usr/share/X11/xkb/us
For tty terminals "setxkbmap" command cannot be used.
The "loadkeys" command can only use the ANSI Dvorak layout.
$ loadkeys dvorak
