Can`t change keyboard when startup

Hi there, i`m new for Arch Linux world.

i want to use trq keyboard for my pc. "setxkbmap tr" was successfully just firefox.I mean still uk keyboard on terminal (or other application) after this command.This is first question.
Other question is;

I write the "setxkbmap tr" command when after startup.How to change to default keyboard "tr"?
I did not have "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf ". I wrote some post about this problem.Create 10-evdev.conf then write in

Section “InputClass”
        Identifier “evdev keyboard catchall”
        MatchIsKeyboard “on”
        MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”
        Driver “evdev”
        Option “XkbLayout” “tr”
EndSection

But did not working

For future reference, a good method for debugging something like this is to start commenting out lines until it at least partially works, then start uncommenting lines until it doesn't work anymore. Then you've identified where the problem lies.

This isn't a result of that technique, just adapted from my own keyboard configuration. See whether this does the trick:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "tr"
EndSection

If that does work, note that after Option "XkbLayout" could be a good place to specify any XkbOptions you wanted, such as swapping control and caps.

P.S.: Oh, and by the way, I just noticed that you seem to be using typographically-correct quotation marks. I should point out that most programs, including Xorg, will be looking for "coding quotes", the straight " and ' from your keyboard.

Look up your xorg log on this and especially ensure that you're actually using xorg as display server (the default for gnome is wayland!)
