I've installed guixsd 0.10. Its probably a rooky problem but seem unable to
solve it and I apologise! ;)
I'd like to change to keyboard layout from us to uk.
Ideally I'd like to set the keyboard layout in the config.scm file and
'guix system reconfigure'
Is this possible.?
I use DWM window manager and in my xsession file on other computer (running
voidlinux) I've a line with "setxkbmap gb” which does the job. Which
package does 'setxkbmap' belong to in guix, I can't seam to locate it. and
if does not exist what other tools are there
Many thanks
Thierry

I don't think so, you can use 'console-keymap-service' but it is for
console only (the same as you would use 'loadkeys' command)...
Or maybe you can by modifying xorg configuration file (see (info "(guix)
X Window") in the manual) and adding something like this to it:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb,us"
EndSection
But it is more simple just to use setxkbmap as you did on other distro.

setxkbmap is in the 'setxkbmap' package, so after "guix package -i
setxkbmap", I think you can just add "setxkbmap gb" to "~/.xsession"
file (I'm not sure as I've never used this method).

Hi guixers! i have a question. Sometimes i need to switch keyboard layout for writing messages. Currently i'm using this command
setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll'
How i can do something similar with config.scm definition?

Hi!
If you want to set the keyboard layout system-wide, see
"System Configuration -> Keyboard Layout".
For a user session, you can use your desktop manager tools or setxkbmap.
If you want a shepherd user service, I use this one:
(define setxkbmap
(make <service>
#:docstring "Set keymap for X."
#:provides '(setxkbmap)
#:start (make-system-constructor
(string-join '("setxkbmap"
"-layout" "us"
"-variant" "altgr-intl"
"-option" "ctrl:swapcaps,nodeadkeys,nbsp:level3")))
#:one-shot? #t))
Cheers!

Ludo fixed support for such layouts last week with commit
2729cb406d9f3e9eb22cc660f887138134edb3a8. He added an example to the
manual:
;; Arabic layout with "Alt-Shift" to switch to US layout.
(keyboard-layout "ar,us" #:options '("grp:alt_shift_toggle"))
Regards,
Florian
