i use the colemak keyboard layout and i recently reinstalled garuda on my desktop, after the reinstall most applications such as firefox seem to read it as a basic US qwerty layout. However gnome shortcuts and some apps such as the terminal and nautilus seem to behave correctly.
in addition to this, for some reason when i hold down certain characters such as “o” for example, it functions like a “alternate characters key”, so pressing “n” whilst holding it down spits out “ñ”. This makes wo`ds such as functioñ rather painful to write.
I tried looking thru this issue, but nothing seemed to work:
this is my /etc/vconsole.conf file:
FONT=ter-220n
KEYMAP=colemak
XKBLAYOUT=us
XKBVARIANT=colemak
The only temporary fix i’ve found for this is to add a new keyboard layout, switch to it and switch back. It cannot be a keyboard layout used previously, it doesn’t fix the accent problem, and it only lasts until next boot.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or if they have any more permanent solutions?
