how to activate alternative keyboard layouts on kubuntu?
 

Hi,

I used the default keyboard when installing Kubuntu 12.04.
Now I want to activate the US International Keyboard layout,
but I cannot figure out where/how to do that.
I looked through the system configuration options
and none of them seem to include keyboard layouts
(as opposed to keyboard shortcuts).
What am I overlooking?

I think you can find the options here:
Systemsettings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Layouts

System Settings|Keyboard|Typing (tab)|lower left side: Layout
Settings|Layouts (tab) - click the + and you can add 'English
(international AltGr dead keys)

Hmm, that is for Ubuntu, isn't it? At least I can't find that Keyboard
section. The OP asked about Kubuntu 12.04. Unfortunately the system
settings aren't the same for the various *ubuntu flavours. :(

Use system settings -> Input devices and click the tab for layout.

Guus.

Go to System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Layouts tab > check the 'Configure Layouts'
box and then click 'Add' and choose the keyboard layout of your choice ......

Choose: K-Menu->System Settings->Regional & Accessibility->Keyboard Layout

In the*Layout*tab, check the*Enable Keyboard Layouts*box.

Choose the country in which the keyboard layout you want is used, and click*Add. The country should appear in theActive Layouts*list.


Click the country in the*Active Layouts*list, and choose the appropriate*Layout variant*for the country selected. This is important for countries where more than one language are commonly spoken.

Click on*Apply*to save your settings.

A*flag icon*should now appear in the system tray showing the current keyboard layout being used. Click the*flag icon*to switch to the other keyboard layout.
