[SOLVED] Programmer dvorak in console

simendsjo · 2013-10-28 11:01:49

Hi. I'm unable to load the programmer dvorak keymap for console.
For X11, I'm setting XbkLayout dvp in the config file, but list-keymaps doesn't show this, so I cannot use it for the console.

Any tips on how I can enable this in vconsole.conf?

I have the same, but for X11, I use dvp (dvorak programmer) from aur/programmers-dvorak.
The problem is that I don't know how I can use it for a non-graphical console.

That is the sort of information that you should include in the first post.. I use dvorak-uk, but this is the first time I've heard of programmers-dvorak and it's AUR package.

By the looks of things, it's an X11 only keymap. It doesn't install anything under /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/

If you want to use it as a console keymap, you may want to write a .map file for it. See 'zcat /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak.map.gz' for an example (compressed) .map file.

Don't forget to mark this as solved by editing the first post.

What's the way to do this? (Isn't a header here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette)

FYI Programmer dvorak is now in the default keymaps: /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak-programmer.map.gz

Thanks for sharing that information. I'm going to go ahead and take the opportunity to close this old topic now though.
