Language characters not working

Z3ZU commented 2 weeks ago

It's my first arch install, and I've managed to work out most of the issues I had by myself so far BUT

The issue

I am having trouble getting polish signs to show up using ALT+ a/o/c/n/z/ I tried multiple ways of setting it up, based on arch wiki

localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: pl2
   X11 Layout: pl

I haveAlternate Characters Key set correctly to Right Alt When I changed language and region to Polish in the same settings menu (top right corner). The language changes for some apps but I still cant type PL characters

I edited vconsole.conf

KEYMAP=pl2
XKBLAYOUT=pl
FONT_MAP=8859-2

to no avail

Also since I have gnome installed I tried In GNOME Tweaks I set Keyboard & Mouse->Additional Layout Options -> Key to choose the 3rd level -> Right Alt. Didn't work

These are the contents of my 00-keyboard.conf for X11

ection "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
EndSection

Any help or tips would be very appreciated, I'm lost at this point on what to do

I think I do get those character before entering Hyprland just without the font for it, they appear as squares, but when i enter Hyprland and try using Alt + any of those characters I get absolutely nothing

in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland/general.conf edit this

kb_layout = us

to this

kb_layout = us,pl

then uncomment this line:

# kb_options = grp:win_space_toggle

If that works, cool. Else, try fcitx5
