Title: Colemak on Tiny Core
Post by: AlexD on June 24, 2024, 03:55:06 PM

Hi, I am a very new Linux user. How can I set Colemak as my keyboard layout. I've followed the instructions for kmap but I don't know the file name for Colemak (if there is one?).
Currently I'm trying: 'sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/colemak/fi-latin9.kmap' but it says there is no such file. I might just be dumb (again, new user) but I can't find anything about Colemak online or in this forum.

Try this command:
setxkbmap us -variant colemak
This should switch your keyboard to Colemak. If you can't find the layout file, check under /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ for us(colemak) or a similar file.
