setxkbmap − set the keyboard using the X Keyboard Extension
setxkbmap [option ...] [layout [variant [xkboption ...] ] ]
The setxkbmap command configures the keyboard to use the layout determined by the parameters specified on the command line. An XKB keymap is constructed from a number of components which are compiled only as needed. The source for all of the components can be found in /usr/lib/X11/xkb.
If one or more non−option arguments are provided, the first is interpreted as a layout.
If two or more non−option arguments are provided, the second is interpreted as the variant.
If three or more non−option arguments are provided, the third and subsequent ones are interpreted as XKB options.
−?, −help
Print a usage message and exit.
−compat name
Use the specified compatibility map component to construct a keyboard layout.
−config file
Use the specified XKB configuration file, which describes the keyboard to be used.
−display display
Update the specified display with the new keyboard layout.
−geometry name
Use the specified geometry component to construct a keyboard layout.
−keymap name
Use the specified keymap description to construct a keyboard layout.
−layout name
Use the specified layout to determine the components which make up the keyboard description. Only one layout is permitted.
−model name
Use the specified keyboard model to determine the components which make up the keyboard description. Only one model is permitted.
−option name
Use the specified option to determine the components which make up the keyboard description; multiple options may be specified, one per −option flag. Note that setxkbmap does not replace, but merely adds to, any XKB options already set on the display (these are saved in root window properties). If you want only the specified options to be set, use the −option flag with an empty argument first.
|
|
Print component names in a format acceptable by xkbcomp(1) (an XKB keymap compiler) and exit. This option is useful for testing, or when one needs to run both setxkbmap and xkbcomp in a pipeline (see below). |
−rules file
Use the specified rules file to resolve the requested layout and model to a set of component names. Only one rules file is permitted.
−symbols name
Use the specified symbols component to construct a keyboard layout.
|
−synch |
Force synchronization of X requests. |
−types name
Use the specified types component to construct a keyboard layout.
−variant name
Use the specified layout variant to determine which components will make up the keyboard description. Only one variant is permitted.
−v level, −verbose level
Set verbosity to specified level.
If an X server and X client are running on different computers and the XKB configuration files on those machines differ, problems may result when specifying a keyboard map. This is because setxkbmap converts the XKB component names to the names of XKB configuration files according to the XKB data on the client machine. It then sends the file names to the X server, where xkbcomp composes a complete keyboard map using its XKB configuration files. Thus, if the sets of files differ significantly, the names that setxkbmap generates on the client side may be unacceptable on the server side, or cause unexpected keyboard behavior. One way to solve this problem is by running xkbcomp on the client side as well. Use the −print option of setxkbmap to print the XKB description in an appropriate format to standard output, and connect that to xkbcomp’s standard input with a pipe. For example, the command
setxkbmap −print us | xkbcomp − $DISPLAY
generates both the XKB keyboard description (setxkbmap) and the compiled XKB keyboard map (xkbcomp) on the client side, and then uploads the map to the X server at $DISPLAY.
