Re: [Trisquel-users] Custom keyboard layout, Super+Space won't switch

[calle]

I installed Trisquel Mini with LXDE instead. I'm able to switch between  
keyboard layouts using Keyboard Layout Handler. But then I addded my variant  
of the us keyboard layout using the method described in my first post and it  
won't show up in Keyboard Layout Handler. I can get it to load if I tell  
Keyboard Layout Handler to use the system layout and edit  
/etc/default/keyboard to use my layout. So the system can find it but it's  
not visible to Keyboard Layout Handler.

Why am I mucking about with this? I want to use a US layout as it's best  
suited for programming, but I'm in Sweden so I really need to be able to  
write ÅÄÖ. So I want a US layout with the ability to AltGr to ÅÄÖ on  
some buttons. This was quite easy to setup on my mac, but I'm really confused  
by the keyboard handling in Linux. There's xkb and input methods like xim and  
IBus and I can't understand how it fits together.
