Hi folks!

I discovered PostmarketOS last week and i tried to install it with sway desktop in my Lenovo Ideapad Duet (Kukui). However, my keyboard has a spanish layout. I've searched into the wiki and internet but i haven't found much info about how to set it (or i'm too newbie to know what i'm looking for xD).

Things i tried:

  • The sway input command. It works, but resets on reboot.
  • Creating a sway config file and define xkb_layout into it. It works, but i have a black screen at reboot (i suspect that's a crash?), i don't plan to install more desktops or any other right now.
  • Doing something with cros-keyboard-map and keyd config files? idk, i know about this via ChatGPT 😅. It doesn't works.

Is there any way to change the keymap to 'es' permanently?

Notes:

  • I'm new to Alpine Linux, but i'm currently using PopOS and Arch in other devices so i'm a bit used to Linux
  • I'm conciuos that changing keymap probably will make me reconfigure cros-keyboard-map and keyd, but i'm from spain and i prefer to use my native layout.

Thanks in advance!

¿Quizás ya esté declarado (lo de xkb_layout) en la config por defecto y la duplicación impida que cargue?

Lo conseguí!, seguí la wiki que me pasaste y copiando el archivo de configuración y editándolo pude ya poner el layout en castellano.

Gracias!

No tengo ni idea, donde puedo encontrar esa config por defecto? 🤔
