Keyboard language

korbip

Hi,
i'm for some reason not able to change the language settings of my keyboard. In the settings i don't find anything where i can change the Region of my keyboard. Is there an config file, where i can chang it?

Depending where you need an alternate layout.
In the emulationstation, the keyboard definition stands in recalbox.conf

------------ F - Language and keyboard ------------

Set the language of the system (fr_FR,en_US,en_GB,de_DE,pt_BR,es_ES,it_IT,eu_ES,tr_TR,zh_CN)

system.language=en_US

set the keyboard layout (fr,en,de,us,es)

;system.kblayout=us

Set you local time

Select your timezone from : ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/ (string)

;system.timezone=Europe/Paris

Now, if you want to use the keyboard for dosbox, you have a line in every dosbox.cfg
individual in the corresponding xxxxx.pc directory, or if you use the global dosbox.conf
inside this :
keyboardlayout=de129 means german keyboard.

Now the description in Dosbox is not very correct.
Better to follow this page for codes :

Can you make “br” “abnt2” available?

XKBMODEL=“abnt2”
XKBLAYOUT=“br”
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=“lv3:alt_switch,compose:rctrl”
