Ability to specify keyboard layout #6

Closed Kaduo closed 7 months ago

Kaduo commented 7 months ago

Hello,

Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but I didn't find where I could configure the keyboard layout used in the greeter. It defaults to qwerty on my machine, which isn't my preference and therefore makes it hard to type my password ^^

You need to configure it in the /etc/nwg-hello/hyprland.conf file (see: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#input). Actually it would make sense to use a copy, like /etc/nwg-hello/some-other-name.conf, and specify it in the greeter config file. See README for details.

This worked great, thanks! I hadn't realized that nwg-hello had its own hyprland config, I read the README a bit too quickly and naively assumed the config referenced in greetd.conf was the one in home.

Great that you sorted it out.
