I’m using Manjaro with i3 and when I change the keyboard layout using Manjaro Settings Manager, it works, but after rebooting or logging out and in, then it was not saved and I have to set it again.
Although localectl shows the correct keymap, when I press a key it uses the spanish layout (the layout I used when I installed the system, I changed the keyboard), and when I go into [manjaro settings manager > keyboard], it shows the spanish layout.
I checked i3 config file but I haven’t seen any command that changes the layout. Where else should I check?
Hi @daviddavo,
Please see:
https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#configuring
Possibly specifically 4. Configuring i3, which states:
On first start (and on all following starts, unless you have a configuration file), i3 will offer you to create a configuration file. You can tell the wizard to use either Alt (Mod1) or Windows (Mod4) as modifier in the config file. Also, the created config file will use the key symbols of your current keyboard layout. To start the wizard, use the command i3-config-wizard. Please note that you must not have ~/.i3/config, otherwise the wizard will exit.
That is not the keyboard layout. I think that refers to the key symbols of the mod, ctrl, and alt keys.
I managed to change it with fcitx configuration tool.
