NAME
setxkbmap
- set the keyboard using the X Keyboard Extension
SYNOPSIS
setxkbmap [args] [layout[variant[option ...] ] ]
DESCRIPTION
The
setxkbmap
command maps the keyboard to use the layout determined by the options
specified on the command line.
An XKB keymap is constructed from a number of components which are compiled
only as needed. The source for all of the components can be found in
/usr/lib/X11/xkb.
OPTIONS
-help
Prints a message describing the valid input to setxkbmap.
-compat name
Specifies the name of the compatibility map component used to construct
a keyboard layout.
-config file
Specifies the name of an XKB configuration file which describes the
keyboard to be used.
-display display
Specifies the display to be updated with the new keyboard layout.
-geometry name
Specifies the name of the geometry component used to construct
a keyboard layout.
-keymap name
Specifies the name of the keymap description used to construct
a keyboard layout.
-layout name
Specifies the name of the layout used to determine the components which
make up the keyboard description. Only one layout may be specified on
the command line.
-model name
Specifies the name of the keyboard model used to determine the components
which make up the keyboard description. Only one model may be specified
on the command line.
-option name
Specifies the name of an option to determine the components which make up
the keyboard description; multiple options may be specified, one per
-option flag. Note that
setxkbmap
summarize options specified in the command
line with options was set before (saved in root window properties). If you
want only specified options will be set use the -option flag with
an empty argument first.
-print
With this option the setxkbmap just prints component names in a format
acceptable by an xkbcomp (an XKB keymap compiler) and exits. The option
can be used for tests instead of a verbose option and in case when one need
to run both the setxkbmap and the xkbcomp in chain (see below).
-rules file
Specifies the name of the rules file used to resolve the request layout
and model to a set of component names.
-symbols name
Specifies the name of the symbols component used to construct
a keyboard layout.
-synch
Force synchronization for X requests.
-types name
Specifies the name of the types component used to construct
a keyboard layout.
-variant name
Specifies which variant of the keyboard layout should be used to determine
the components which make up the keyboard description. Only one variant
may be specified on the command line.
USING WITH xkbcomp
If you have an Xserver and a client shell running on different computers and
XKB configuration files sets on those machines are different you can get
problems specifying a keyboard map by model, layout, options names.
The thing is the setxkbcomp converts these names to names of XKB
configuration files according to files that are on the client side computer.
Then it sends the file names to the server where the xkbcomp has to
compose a complete keyboard map using files which the server has.
Thus if the sets of files differ significantly the names that the
setxkbmap generates can be unacceptable on the server side. You can
solve this problem running the xkbcomp on the client side too.
With the -print option setxkbmap just prints the files names
in an appropriate format to its stdout and this output can be piped
directly to the xkbcomp input. For example, a command
setxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY
makes both step on the same (client) machine and loads a keyboard map into
the server.
