Today was my first encounter with this Arch build and it was love from the first sight. Styles, color palette, fonts, themes everything is perfectly balanced, nice job! I tried one of community build for solid experience and basically setup is usable out of the box with few tweaks to make. Thats what took me all evening - figuring out, how to manage keys layouts with no GUI settings, and without installing a plugin with 3 buttons gettings 100500 useless dependencies. The solution is elegant and simple, and its in arch wiki, but only in russian version of it, maybe thats thats the reason i spend so much time. There are 2 main ways
$ setxkbmap [-model xkb_model] [-layout xkb_layout] [-variant xkb_variant] [-option xkb_options]
using [setxkbmap]
$ setxkbmap xkb_layout
but its way too to change input language while typing, so u can add more opttions
$ setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us,ru -variant dvorak, -option grp:alt_shift_toggle
anyways all these settings erase every time u change user, and that was the end of the story “pepesad”
Until i found some scripting patterns and guild from russian hacker Ivan, exclusively
Just past here /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
Hopefully you can get the rest how to configure this to yyour needs, works like swiss clock, enjoy!
try out community edition.
