Wrong keymap when entering the LUKS passphrase

Hi,

I installed Manjaro with full disk encryption.
The problem is that when I enter the passphrase to unlock the disk, the keyboard is configured like an English US keyboard. I would like to configure it to French Macintosh or at least French AZERTY (a similar one).

Thanks.


Here is the output of the localectl status command:

   System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8
                  LC_COLLATE=C
       VC Keymap: fr
      X11 Layout: fr
     X11 Variant: mac

Here is the content of the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file:

MODULES=""

I’m in exactly the same situation as @Cl00e9ment.
I just can’t seem to find a solution to change the keymap et boot-time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can’t change the keymap that early in the boot from grub. Either use the default grub default or use a not complete encrypted system, so that you can use systemd to unlock the root filesystem.
