get your custom keyboard layout somehow listed in the system ones.
like /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst - that's and various other locations are
where e's xkb config tool gets the list of available layouts. your layout is a
special one for you - and then it to be stored with the data of all the other
system keyboard layouts... i have never gone and modified this so you'll
probably need to google on how to do it... :) but if you can get it listed
there. E looks in the following files in this order to list
layouts/models/variants:
#ifdef XKB_BASE
XKB_BASE "/rules/xorg.lst",
XKB_BASE "/rules/xfree86.lst",
#endif
#if defined __NetBSD__
"/usr/X11R7/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst",
#elif defined __OpenBSD__
"/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst",
#endif
"/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst",
"/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst",
"/usr/local/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst",
"/usr/local/share/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst",
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst",
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst",
"/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst",
"/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst",
anyway - if you read the lst files you'll see how e discovers available
keyboard layouts and offers them in the config.
But yes - e will probably override things you do by hand at some point and...
you got lucky before. :)
