Dvorak keyboard layout with international characters.
Two layouts are available:
- One for usage with an ISO layout, e.g. a laptop keyboard.
- One for usage with a QMK-configured programmable keyboard already set up to Dvorax. This additional software layout adds special characters without changing anything else to the hardware layout.
- Copy dx into
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. - Add
dx Dvoraxto the layout list in/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst(file section that starts with! layout). - Add the following layout to
