I do most of my work in English, but I also do a small amount in Spanish. I have a Spanish keyboard, but when I tried hooking it up, didn't get what was on keys.

there is no problems to have different encodings on two keyboards.
the following command will change the encoding on the second one.

wsconsctl -f /dev/wskbd1 keyboard.encoding=es

-moj


I tried kbd, that was unsuccesful. Even after rebooting with spanish keyboard only.

wsconsctl -f /dev/wskbd1 keyboard.encoding=es sort of works, but things are not matching keyboard completely, still, I get many useful characters.
Not working in all apps though.
Also is messing up kbd0.

I also got a recommendation to use setxkbmap, but I'm going to have to see what I can search for to use that, man page was not helpful.
