Installation

Arch/Manjaro Linux

To install from AUR run

paru -S latynka-kbd

or use your favorite helper with the latynka-kbd package.

macOS

TODO: Describe the installation process

Usage

The latynka-kbd is not a part of xkeyboard-config: you cannot use localectl. But you can use setxkbmap or configure it manually.

Some examples:

Sway

input * {
        xkb_layout "latynka,ua,latynka"
        xkb_variant "coder,unicode,"
        xkb_options "grp:win_space_toggle"
        xkb_model "pc105"
}
