In Ubuntu 20.04, how can I change the keyboard layout in the terminal, and without using superuser permissions?
Edit: I do not have a graphical interface, and therefore no access to e.g. setxkbmap
.
The available layouts are listed in man xkeyboard-config
. Choose one.
setxkbmap -layout "<chosen-layout>"
Don't forget the quotes if the layout contains parenthesis.
Impossible without having root access, unless the sysadmin agrees to let users execute loadkeys
, as described in Loadkeys gives permission denied for normal user, in which case you could use
loadkeys < <(ckbcomp -layout '<chosen-layout>')
