==Introduction and basic configuration==
 
−
 
 
−
The virtual console (keyboard mapping, console font, and console map) is configured in {{ic|/etc/vconsole.conf}}. It defines what keymap the keyboard is in the virtual consoles. Keytable files are provided by the {{Pkg|kbd}} package. An example {{ic|/etc/vconsole.conf}} is shown below:
 
−
 
 
−
{{hc|/etc/vconsole.conf|2=
 
−
KEYMAP=us
 
−
FONT=lat9w-16
 
−
FONT_MAP=8859-1_to_uni}}
 
−
 
 
−
{{Note|As of {{pkg|systemd}}-194, the built-in ''kernel'' font and the ''us'' keymap are used if {{ic|1=KEYMAP=}} and {{ic|1=FONT=}} are empty or not set.}}
 
−
 
 
−
Another way to set the keyboard mapping (keymap) is using {{ic|localectl}}:
 
−
 
 
−
# localectl set-keymap de
 
−
 
 
−
{{ic|localectl}} can also be used to set the X11 keymap:
 
−
 
 
−
# localectl set-x11-keymap de
 
−
 
 
−
See {{ic|man 1 localectl}} and {{ic|man 5 vconsole.conf}} for details.
 
−
 
 
−
== Keyboard layouts ==
 
−
 
 
−
This is the list of known keymap settings to work for the corresponding keyboard layouts. Most keymaps can be found in the {{ic|/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/''layout''}} (''layout''=qwerty, azerty, dvorak, etc.) directory.
 
−
 
 
−
Less common but nonetheless useful keymaps for Arch Linux are found in the {{ic|/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/''architecture''}} (''architecture''=mac, sun, etc.) directory.
 
−
 
 
−
You can find more info about your keyboard layout with:
 
−
{{ic|less /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst}}
 
−
 
 
−
{{Note|
 
−
* In an X session, you can use setxkbmap to instantly apply keyboard layout: {{ic|setxkbmap -layout dvorak}}
 
−
* You can also use this method to modify single keys. This command would assign the compose functionality to the caps lock key: {{ic|setxkbmap -option 'compose:caps'}}. This allows for example to write umlauts easily. Example for Umlaut A: {{ic| CAPSLOCK, ", A}}  ->  Ä. You can also configure the right Windows key as a Compose key with {{ic|setxkbmap -option 'compose:rwin'}}
 
−
* If these keymaps do not work for you, make sure the keymap file exists in {{ic|/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/}} using {{ic|find}}: {{ic|find /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/ -name "*[your desired keymap]*"}}
 
−
* You can see some instructions on how to use some keymaps in their respective files with: {{ic|zless /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/.../.../xx.map.gz}}}}
