Hello,

I checked the checkbox « create an encrypted partition » when I installed Manjaro. So my SSD is encrypted and it ask for password when I boot. But the keyboard is in qwerty and it switch to my layout when only once the system is launched.
How can I set the keyboard layout from boot ?
Thanks.

I remember reading a topic long time ago - a member using dvorak layout - and if I recall correct there is no way of setting a keyboard layout that early.

EDIT:
I put my search-fu at work and there is ways to achieve what you ask for but it is complicated and requires special initrd to accomplish the goal.

Unfortunately, this file seems to already be well configured.

Arch wiki has some info on custom keymap in manual configuration of grub's core image:

Ok, it is theoretically possible, but really low-level configuration.
Thank for your answers.
