Changing to UK keyboard in Arch Linux


Hello, I've some experience with Mint, but know very little about what goes on underneath the shiny surface. So I thought I should try to get some knowledge of how Linux Works. I decided to try Arch Linux on an old Net-book. I found a tutorial on how to download and install it (a sort of idiot's guide) and to my surprise I have managed to install a basic form of Arch with a KDE desktop. Feeling pretty pleased with myself!

However, the keyboard layout is US and I need it to be UK. I guess I must have chosen the wrong option when I was installing. I've searched in various forums, but can't find how to change the default.

Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Thanks

How stupid of me. I never thought of looking there. I thought I'd have to enter code! Thanks for your help.
