OpenBSD: xfce4 terminal keyboard layout.
hello all.
i just installed OpenBSD 6.3 and i am having problems with terminal emulator, i cant set it to use finnish keyboard layout. at boot when i havent started xfce4 i can use letters like 'ä' and 'ö', but when i have launched xfce4 with command 'startxfce4' and try to use terminal emulator 'ö' becomes '"o' and 'ä' becomes '"a'. if i use geany i can type letters like ö/ä without problems. not sure what i should do next. |
can you fix the situation manually by entering
Code:
setxkbmap fi could it be a font problem, i.e. the font doesn't have these letters? |
i tried ur command but it didnt work, tested couple of fonts and no luck.
|
i tried :
# wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=fi and # touch /etc/wsconsctl.conf # echo "keyboard.encoding=fi" > /etc/wsconsctl.conf |
|
thank you for reply.
i installed Terminator which has been my main terminal emu for a long time, öä letters work with it. i'll try to fix xfce terminal later. ////// |
Ah hah! I found guidance in the pkg-readme file. Excerpt below. See the file in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/ for more information.
Code:
Terminal, special characters and localized applications |
thanks guys.
finnish keyboard layout is sv, and i found a GUI method to set terminal encoding to finnish (nordic). thanks. |

on my archlinux it's fi or se (i found out some time ago that they actually use the same keyboard layout), but never sv. |
