EURkey layout with Gnome3

Hi,

i've recently switched from my custom sway setup to plain Gnome 3 and I wonder how to use the EURkey layout with Gnome?

Going to Settings -> Keyboard -> Add Input Source -> Other -> List with a lot of languages
I can't find EURkey.

With sway I simply set it as an input option in the config like this:

input * {
    xkb_layout "eu"
}

I've already set this option

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true

to see all installed layouts, but that did not solve my problem.

I'm surely missing something here and would appreciate your help!

Thanks

Re: EURkey layout with Gnome3

Hi,

yes, you need additionally:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources [('xkb', 'eu')]

(i haven't tested it with gsettings. I used the dconf-editor, but I think the gsettings command fits.)
