[Solved] Wrong keyboard layout in terminal emulator

Hi.

Just installed Arch after using Debian based distro for many years. Been a long time since I have been using Arch so I'm realy rusty.

My problem is:
I have correct locale set. Keyboard language and setup works perfect in tty.
Installed xorg and xfce.
Turned out that the keyboard was not correct in the terminal emulator. I forgot to test if this was in XFCE or just the emulator before I added:

Section "InputClass"
             Identifier "system-keyboard"
             Option "XkbLayout" "no"  #I'm from Norway.
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

Still not correct in terminal emulator.

So where does terminal emulator get the keyboard config from? And from a learning perspective; how come system locale is not used as default thoughout the system?

"Terminal emulator" is *not* the linux console?

What's the output of "setxkbmap -print -query" and "localectl"?

Found my mistake.

In /etc/locale.conf I have:
nn_NO.UTF-8

correct should be:

nb_NO.UTF-8

Figured it out. Thanks for your time.

Does this forum have a "Solved" feature I should use?

Mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
