<title>Use alternate keyboard layouts</title>
29
<p>Keyboards come in hundreds of different layouts for different languages.
30
Even for a single language, there are often multiple keyboard layouts, such
31
as the Dvorak layout for English. You can make your keyboard behave like a
32
keyboard with a different layout, regardless of the letters and symbols
33
printed on the keys. This is useful if you often switch between multiple
38
<p>Click your name on the top bar and select

<gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
42
<p>Open <gui>Region and Language</gui> and select the
43
<gui>Layouts</gui> tab.</p>
46
<p>Click the <gui>+</gui> button, select a layout, and click
47
<gui>Add</gui>. You can add at most four layouts.</p>

<p>You can preview an image of any layout by selecting it in the list and clicking
56
<gui><media type="image" src="figures/input-keyboard-symbolic.png" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui>,
57
or by clicking <gui>Preview</gui> in the pop-up window when adding a layout.</p>
60
<p>When you add multiple layouts, you can quickly switch between them using
61
the keyboard layout icon on the top bar. The top bar will display a short
62
identifier for the current layout, such as <gui>en</gui> for the standard
63
English layout. Click the layout indicator and select the layout you want to
64
use from the menu.</p>
66
<p>When you use multiple layouts, you can choose to have all windows use the
67
same layout or to set a different layout for each window. Using a different
68
layout for each window is useful, for example, if you're writing an article
69
in another language in a word processor window. Your keyboard selection will
70
be remembered for each window as you switch between windows.</p>
72
<p>By default, new windows will use the default keyboard layout. You can
73
instead choose to have them use the layout of the window you were last
74
using. The default layout is the layout at the top of the list. Use the
75
<gui>↑</gui> and <gui>↓</gui> buttons to move layouts up and down in

<p>We're totally copping out on the custom options. That dialog is a
81
monster, and needs a reference. Note that the options in there are
82
dynamic from the X server. We might not get a definitive reference
83
of everything ever, but let's do our best. Make a separate page.
84
Don't clutter this page with that crap.</p>
85
<p>Also, we should identify common uses of those options and create
86
task pages for them.</p>

You may want to add certain symbols to specific keys or adjust custom option and behaviors. You can do this by clicking <gui>Options</gui>.

102
<p>When you change your keyboard layout, you only change it for your account
103
after you log in. You can also change the <em>system layouts</em>, the keyboard
104
layouts used in places like the login screen.</p>
