Use dvorak keyboard layout #34

Closed nullset closed 7 years ago

nullset commented 7 years ago

Hi, I just installed VSCode via your instructions, and it works amazingly well! Thanks for all your hard work! One question though ... I typically use the Dvorak keyboard layout (yes, I'm one of those people) and I can't figure out how to start the chroot for VS Code with the keyboard of my choice. Any pointers?

you should be able to enter the chroot manually using enter-chroot, see the crouton documentation for more details on that

once inside, this build is based on ubuntu. The command to fix it I believe looks like this?

setxkbmap -layout us,us -variant dvorak

You closed this issue a bit prematurely. Yes it's a xiwi thing but there's a ~/.xiwirc exact for that. The problem ist, that setxkbmap needs an xserver so you can't set the language in a terminal. I have the following in my ~/.xiwirc setxkbmap de

With that i can start vscode with startxiwi and have german keyboard layout.
