These keymaps use the first level for redirection to different scan-codes in inet "evdev" section that aren't used in ordinary keyboards. However, if a keyboard has some media keys that use these scan-codes, you will have to change the redirection of the conflicting scan-codes in "symbols/us" and uncomment them in "symbols/inet".
Any key will work as Qwerty when pressed with Control, Alt or Super.
#./install.sh
It will save your xkb configuration in archive named xkb-backup.tar.gz located in your working directory and will install the new configuration files.
after reboot, you can choose new input sources from text entry setting:
- Dvorak-Qwerty
- Dvorak-Qwerty simplified (no dead keys)
- Dvorak-Qwerty, international with dead keys
- Dvorak-Qwerty alternative international no dead keys
- Dvorak-Qwerty, classic
- Dvorak-Qwerty, programmer
Gnome may override some keys in some cases that existed in other levels that did not interfere in previous configurations.
You can clear these bindings with the help of dconf-editor.
Steps:
-
Install dconf-editor for your distro
-
Open dconf-editor
-
Browse through /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources and find xkb-options.
-
Remove from the string the record that overrides your keymap
To identify key codes, run the following command then press all media keys
$ xev | sed -n 's/^.*keycode *\([0-9]\+\) (keysym .*, \(.*\)),.*$/keycode \1 = \2/p'
...
keycode 36 = Return
keycode 180 = XF86HomePage
keycode 180 = XF86HomePage
keycode 225 = XF86Search
keycode 163 = XF86Mail
keycode 163 = XF86Mail
keycode 192 = XF86Launch5

key <I253> keycode 253 = NoSymbol
E.g for key <I246> keycode 246 = XF86WLAN:
Uncomment the line in symbols/inet and comment out other key you don't need. For example key <HENK>.
...
// key <I235> { [ XF86Display ] };
// key <I245> { [ XF86Bluetooth ] };
key <I246> { [ XF86WLAN ] };
// key <I249> { [ ] }; // KEY_VIDEO_NEXT -- drive next video source
...
key <HKTG> { [ Hiragana_Katakana ] };
// key <HENK> { [ Henkan ] };
key <MUHE> { [ Muhenkan ] };
key <KATA> { [ Katakana ] };
...
Search keyname <I246> in symbols/us and replace it with <HENK>.
...
key <AB05> {
type[group1]="DVQ-SIMPLIFIED_ALPHA_NUMERIC",
symbols[Group1]= [ NoSymbol, b, X, NoSymbol, x ],
actions[Group1]= [ RedirectKey(key=<HENK>,clearmods=Lock) ]
};key <HENK> { [ b, B ] };
