    what? it LITERALLY asks if you want to add an additional keyboard when you set it up for the first time. and adding one afterwards isn’t hard.

      For what it’s worth, making a custom layout actually is a huge pain in the arse. That’s a pretty niche use case, but there is definitely no reason for it to be as much of a hassle as it is

          I just changed one of the existing layouts. Very easy in any text editor, you just need to find the proper name or Unicode code for each function/character.

              If you’re using xkb, try this guide. Of course, backup any system files before modifying them, and just to be sure, add a 2nd keyboard layout as backup and know how to switch between them to have a fallback if you corrupt the primary one.

              There might be TUI or GUI tools too, probably way more convenient for a one-off change on a single PC.

                Thanks, that is a good starting point. All the GUIs I found have been deprecated, so I’ll go with the purely text-based approach. At least it will be trivial to copy it to my other machines. Fingers crossed!
