[SOLVED] Getting "Unknown command verb 'set-11-keymap' Error

Here is the exact command/error:

[brianna@baymax ~]$ sudo localectl --no-convert set-11-keymap us, 
Unknown command verb 'set-11-keymap', did you mean 'set-x11-keymap'?

I can't see the difference between the two verbs.

I've used half a dozen arguments after --no-convert. Is that the issue? What I'm trying to do is:

Model: PC104
Layout: US
Variants: Dvorak (primary), QWERTY

Any help would be great. I haven't found that specific error anywhere. TIA!

EDIT:

Solution: I had to read the command I typed better.

I'm terribly sorry. I'm guessing this was the wrong place to post? Please delete or lock.

What?

set-11-keymap
set-x11-keymap

You see no difference?

That's just embarrassing...

Apparently, my 'X' key is finicky, because I just went through my command history and saw that I did that not once, not twice, but multiple times.

PRO TIP: Up arrow is a nice shortcut, but you should only use it to repeat a successful command and NOT if you're having errors. Save yourself time and retype!
