Slovak keyboard layout in console (no X)

There's no standard slovak keyboard layout for console in Arch. For example, when pressing the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 0, with the standard slovak keyboard you should get the characters +, ľ, š, č, ť, ž, ý, á, í, é. But with the keyboard layouts available in Arch you have to hold ALT to get these characters, which makes typing text in Slovak much slower. The keyboard layout for X is fine, that's what the standard slovak layout should look like. I would really appreciate if somebody could fix it.

Hello!

Does it work as you expect If you use systemd localctl tool that can "control both the system locale and keyboard layout settings for both the virtual console and Xorg. Contents"? See this.

Update: Nevermind, just saw that the first post was posted two years ago. Please close this thread!

It is advised to follow the How to post guide when posting on the Arch forum. If one consciously jumps over these elementary steps like reading the wiki and providing necessary information about the problem, one can be regarded as a Help Vampire.
