NAME
xkeyboard-config - XKB data description files
DESCRIPTION
xkeyboard-config provides the description files for the X Keyboard Extension (XKB) and for
libxkbcommon. Typically it is the task of the desktop environment to apply the requested
configuration. Users running an X server can also use the setxkbmap(1) tool to apply
keyboard configuration at runtime or configure XKB settings in the xorg.conf(5).
XKB DATA FILES LOAD PATHS
xkeyboard-config provides the XKB data files installed in /usr/share/X11/xkb. User-
specific data files may be elsewhere but it depends on the tool whether those files are
loaded. For example, the libxkbcommon library will by default load XKB data files from the
user's home directory. See the libxkbcommon documentation for details.
THE CUSTOM LAYOUT
The "custom" layout is a layout that is listed as available to tools reading the data
files but is not actually provided by xkeyboard-config. A user may save a layout
specification in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom file and that layout will be
available to most tools interacting with the xkeyboard-config data files. This is
primarily aimed at systems running X where additional lookup paths cannot easily be added.
Because the "custom" layout is merely listed as available but not provided by xkeyboard-
config, the layout will not be overwritten on updates.
