[SOLVED] SDDM Keyboard Slelection

My SDDM only has one keyboard available in the dropdown box and that's US (with the US flag next to it). Unfortunately my password has a non alphanumeric character in it and I had to search around various keys to find it so I could login in.

Is there a way to add a keyboard or change the default one.

(In my KDE5 System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Layouts I just have one layout and thats English (UK))

Hi
You edit file
/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
and write
setxkbmap "your layout"
