XfKC is a keyboard layout configuration tool for the Xfce desktop environment. It allows you to select your keyboard model, and the layouts that you want to use. You won't have to tweak your xorg.conf to set up your keyboard.
Its build dependencies are:
- GTK2
- libxfce4util
- libxfcegui4
- libxklavier (at least version 0.3)
XfKC use
Running XfKC from the menu, or from the command line will run the configuration GUI. To apply the configuration, you need to run:
xfkc --apply
You can change your ~/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-sessionrc file to apply the configuration at Xfce startup. If you use the xkb panel plugin, make sure to run xfkc before the panel, or the xkb plugin will crash. Your xfce4-sessionrc file could look like:
[...] [Failsafe Session] Count=5 Client0_Command=xfwm4 Client0_PerScreen=False Client1_Command=xfkc,--apply Client1_PerScreen=False Client2_Command=xfce4-panel Client2_PerScreen=False Client3_Command=xfdesktop Client3_PerScreen=False Client4_Command=Thunar,--daemon Client4_PerScreen=False [...]
