Tried a few different answers from here and other websites, but I can't seem to get my laptop keyboard mapping correctly on Debian at all.
My keyboard is a slightly abnormal layout.
It's qwerty, and UK.
Immediately to the right of my space
bar, before Alt Gr
, I have the |
and \
key. When I press this key, I get <
and >
(shift) respectively.
Above my enter
key, I have ~
and #
. Currently when I press this, I get \
and |
(shift) respectively.
I'm used to having GBP sign on shift+3, but instead I have #
. Same applies for " being on shift+2, instead having @
.
Here's the keyboard:
I suspect I'm going to need a slightly manual keymapping for this - or at least a default keymapping with some minor changes. Where do I start?
I've tried the following, with different options, to no avail. I can't get the keys to change... at all, let alone to the wrong/right options.
for i in 'console-data' 'console-setup' 'console-locales' 'keyboard-configuration'; do sudo apt-get install $i; done
for i in 'console-data' 'console-setup' 'keyboard-configuration'; do sudo dpkg-reconfigure $i; done

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Options chosen:

- English (UK)
- Default
- No compose key
- No Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
? That should show an interface where you can choose your keyboard layout. What's the content of/etc/default/keyboard
?
