Adding more keyboard layouts/keymaps

[N.D.Wolfwood]

Hello,
First of all if any similar topic already exists or not for this part of forum, please feel free to redirect me to the correct one, thanks!

Now the problem:

I’m using several different keyboard layouts and one of them is missing the most usable keymap.
Namely: Georgian keyboard is only represented with 2 keymaps: MESS and ergonomic, however both are the least popular and the default one for that language is - Georgian (QWERTY): http://kbdlayout.info/kbdgeoqw

Is there any way to manually add it?

P.S. I’m a total noob in EOS/Arch (previously only had some interaction with Pop_OS and Mint), so please go easy on me : ))

System specs:

OS: EndeavourOS Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.0.8-arch1-1
Packages: 896 (pacman)
Shell: bash 5.1.16
DE: Xfce 4.16
WM: Xfwm4
WM Theme: Default
Theme: Adwaita-dark [GTK2], Arc-Darker [GTK3]
Icons: Qogir [GTK2/3]
Terminal: xfce4-terminal
Terminal Font: Source Code Pro 10

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the the club,
So far a personal map may tranform the existing keymap

@N.D.Wolfwood

the default one for that language is - Georgian (QWERTY)

If you want to add the default one, do not select a variant. This should normally add it (in the XFCE utility).
In Linux, we use ISO standards. We can list available variants for ge layout with:

localectl list-x11-keymap-variants ge

which provides this output:

ergonomic
mess
os
ru

To verify how your system is currently configured, run this in terminal:

localectl

Thanks for the replies.

localectl gives me the following:

System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us
X11 Layout: us

and localectl list-x11-keymap-variants ge:

ergonomic
mess
os
ru

So, no qwerty unfortunately.

If no other solution I’d go with creation of a custom keymap, tho it won’t be easy I suppose.

Found the solution

It appears that if you only select “Georgian” it is indeed the Qwerty one : ))

So, that’s it, all good.
