Hello Guix!
This patch series attempts to address a longstanding issue in Guix:
keyboard layout configuration.
The end result is that you can configure the layout for GRUB,
the Linux console, and Xorg using a single <keyboard-layout> record,
which directly corresponds to an XKB layout specification.
The three things still have to be configured separately. Here’s an
example where GRUB, Linux, and Xorg use the same layout:
(operating-system
;; ...
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "tr")) ;for the console
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
(target "/boot/efi")
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) ;for GRUB
(services (modify-services %desktop-services
(slim-service-type config =>
(slim-configuration
(inherit config)
(xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration ;for Xorg
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))))))
Clearly the Xorg bit is suboptimal. I don’t see any obvious way
to simplify this part unfortunately because the <xorg-configuration>
record is aggregated by ‘slim-configuration’ & co. (there’s no Xorg
service that we could extend.) That’s something we can still improve
afterwards, though.
Potentially controversial issues:
1. The Xorg API is changed in an incompatible way:
‘xorg-start-command’ has a different prototype, the ‘startx’
field of ‘slim-configuration’ is gone, etc. If you were using
these, your config will have to be adjusted to use the new
‘xorg-configuration’ record. (But hey, we’re still pre-1.0!).
2. Since both fields and the record constructor are called
‘keyboard-layout’, you could easily have name clashes (it’s
more of an aesthetic consideration, not a showstopper.)
After that we should probably change the installer to generate
the right incantations.
These patches fix <https://issues.guix.info/issue/25453> and
<https://issues.guix.info/issue/26234>.
Feedback welcome!
And thanks to nee for the initial inspiration!
Ludo’.

* gnu/services/xorg.scm (<xorg-configuration>): New record type.
(xorg-configuration-file): Remove.
(xorg-wrapper): Remove #:modules, #:configuration-file, and
#:xorg-server; add optional 'config' parameter instead. Adjust
accordingly.
(xorg-start-command): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (X Window): Document 'xorg-configuration'. Update
'xorg-start-command' documentation. Remove 'xorg-configuration-file'
documentation.

-@var{modules} must be a list of @dfn{module packages} loaded by the Xorg
+@cindex Xorg, configuration
+@deftp {Data Type} xorg-configuration
+This data type represents the configuration of the Xorg graphical display
+server. Note that there is not Xorg service; instead, the X server is started
+by a ``display manager'' such as GDM, SDDM, and SLiM. Thus, the configuration
+of these display managers aggregates an @code{xorg-configuration} record.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{modules} (default: @code{%default-xorg-modules})
+This is a list of @dfn{module packages} loaded by the Xorg
server---e.g., @code{xf86-video-vesa}, @code{xf86-input-keyboard}, and so on.
-@var{fonts} must be a list of font directories to add to the server's
-@dfn{font path}.
-
-@var{drivers} must be either the empty list, in which case Xorg chooses a
-graphics driver automatically, or a list of driver names that will be tried in
-this order---e.g., @code{("modesetting" "vesa")}.
-
-Likewise, when @var{resolutions} is the empty list, Xorg chooses an
-appropriate screen resolution; otherwise, it must be a list of
-resolutions---e.g., @code{((1024 768) (640 480))}.
-
-Last, @var{extra-config} is a list of strings or objects appended to the
-configuration file. It is used to pass extra text to be
-added verbatim to the configuration file.
-
-@cindex keymap
-@cindex keyboard layout
-This procedure is especially useful to configure a different keyboard layout
-than the default US keymap. For instance, to use the ``bépo'' keymap by
-default on the display manager:
-
-@example
-(define bepo-evdev
- "Section \"InputClass\"
- Identifier \"evdev keyboard catchall\"
- Driver \"evdev\"
- MatchIsKeyboard \"on\"
- Option \"xkb_layout\" \"fr\"
- Option \"xkb_variant\" \"bepo\"
-EndSection")
-
-(operating-system
- ...
- (services
- (modify-services %desktop-services
- (slim-service-type config =>
- (slim-configuration
- (inherit config)
- (startx (xorg-start-command
- #:configuration-file
- (xorg-configuration-file
- #:extra-config
- (list bepo-evdev)))))))))
-@end example
-
-The @code{MatchIsKeyboard} line specifies that we only apply the configuration
-to keyboards. Without this line, other devices such as touchpad may not work
-correctly because they will be attached to the wrong driver. In this example,
-the user typically used @code{setxkbmap fr bepo} to set their favorite keymap
-once logged in. The first argument corresponds to the layout, while the second
-argument corresponds to the variant. The @code{xkb_variant} line can be omitted
-to select the default variant.
+
+@item @code{fonts} (default: @code{%default-xorg-fonts})
+This is a list of font directories to add to the server's @dfn{font path}.
+
+@item @code{drivers} (default: @code{'()})
+This must be either the empty list, in which case Xorg chooses a graphics
+driver automatically, or a list of driver names that will be tried in this
+order---e.g., @code{("modesetting" "vesa")}.
+
+@item @code{resolutions} (default: @code{'()})
+When @code{resolutions} is the empty list, Xorg chooses an appropriate screen
+resolution. Otherwise, it must be a list of resolutions---e.g., @code{((1024
+768) (640 480))}.
+
+@item @code{extra-config} (default: @code{'()})
+This is a list of strings or objects appended to the configuration file. It
+is used to pass extra text to be added verbatim to the configuration file.
+
+@item @code{server} (default: @code{xorg-server})
+This is the package providing the Xorg server.
+
+@item @code{server-arguments} (default: @code{%default-xorg-server-arguments})
+This is the list of command-line arguments to pass to the X server. The
+default is @code{-nolisten tcp}.

+@node Keyboard Layout
+@section Keyboard Layout
+
+To specify what each key of your keyboard does, you need to tell the operating
+system what @dfn{keyboard layout} you want to use. The default, when nothing
+is specified, is the US English QWERTY layout for 105-key PC keyboards.
+However, German speakers will usually prefer the German QWERTZ layout, French
+speakers will want the AZERTY layout, and so on; hackers might prefer Dvorak
+or bépo, and they might even want to further customize the effect of some of
+the keys. This section explains how to get that done.
+
+@cindex keyboard layout, definition
+There are three components that will want to know about your keyboard layout:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+The @emph{bootloader} may want to know what keyboard layout you want to use
+(@pxref{Bootloader Configuration, @code{keyboard-layout}}). This is useful if
+you want, for instance, to make sure that you can type the passphrase of your
+encrypted root partition using the right layout.
+
+@item
+The @emph{operating system kernel}, Linux, will need that so that the console
+is properly configured (@pxref{operating-system Reference,
+@code{keyboard-layout}}).
+
+@item
+The @emph{graphical display server}, usually Xorg, also has its own idea of
+the keyboard layout (@pxref{X Window, @code{keyboard-layout}}).
+@end itemize
+
+Guix allows you to configure all three separately but, fortunately, it allows
+you to share the same keyboard layout for all three components.
+
+@cindex XKB, keyboard layouts
+Keyboard layouts are represented by records created by the
+@code{keyboard-layout} procedure of @code{(gnu system keyboard)}. Following
+the X Keyboard extension (XKB), each layout has four attributes: a name (often
+a language code such as ``fi'' for Finnish or ``jp'' for Japanese), an
+optional variant name, an optional keyboard model name, and a possibly empty
+list of additional options. In most cases the layout name is all you care
+about. Here are a few example:
+
+@example
+;; The German QWERTZ layout. Here we assume a standard
+;; "pc105" keyboard model.
+(keyboard-layout "de")
+
+;; The bépo variant of the French layout.
+(keyboard-layout "fr" "bepo")
+
+;; The Catalan layout.
+(keyboard-layout "es" "cat")
+
+;; The Latin American Spanish layout. In addition, the
+;; "Caps Lock" keys is used as an additional "Ctrl" key,
+;; and the "Menu" key is used as a "Compose" key to enter
+;; accented letters.
+(keyboard-layout "latam"
+ #:options '("ctrl:nocaps" "compose:menu"))
+
+;; The Russian layout for a ThinkPad keyboard.
+(keyboard-layout "ru" #:model "thinkpad")
+
+;; The "US international" layout, which is the US layout plus
+;; dead keys to enter accented characters. This is for an
+;; Apple MacBook keyboard.
+(keyboard-layout "us" "intl" #:model "macbook78")
+@end example
+
+See the @file{share/X11/xkb} directory of the @code{xkeyboard-config} package
+for a complete list of supported layouts, variants, and models.
+
+@cindex keyboard layout, configuration
+Let's say you want your system to use the Turkish keyboard layout throughout
+your system---bootloader, console, and Xorg. Here's what your system
+configuration would look like:
+
+@lisp
+;; Using the Turkish layout for the bootloader, the console,
+;; and for Xorg.
+
+(operating-system
+ ;; ...
+ (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "tr")) ;for the console
+ (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
+ (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
+ (target "/boot/efi")
+ (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) ;for GRUB
+ (services (modify-services %desktop-services
+ (slim-service-type config =>
+ (slim-configuration
+ (inherit config)
+ (xorg-configuration
+ (xorg-configuration ;for Xorg
+ (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))))))
+@end lisp
+
+In the example above, for GRUB and for Xorg, we just refer to the
+@code{keyboard-layout} field defined above, but we could just as well refer to
+a different layout.

I think these examples are a bit confusing, because they could be
interpreted as:
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(target "/boot/efi")
(bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
(keyboard-layout "fr" "bepo")))
as well as:
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(target "/boot/efi")
(bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "fr" "bepo"))))
and I think you mean the second one, but the first one is the one that
comes immediately to mind when reading the manual. Maybe you could add
the full example?
