Question

How can I remap my keyboard it is on a Motorola lapdock 100 The @ " / |# are all in the wrong place I have tried Sudo Dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration but Motorola is not in the list any where.and these keys any vital to programming.

Answer 1

It may be simpler to use raspi-config

sudo raspi-config

Select the internationalisation option and change keyboard layout.

Answer 2

By default the Raspbian operating system comes configured to recognise and use a keyboard with a Great Britain (GB) character set. If we want to change the default keyboard to something else (for example a US keyboard, or a similar model to that required) we will need to edit the keyboard configuration file.

So, from the command line execute the following command;

sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard

This will present the keyboard configuration file which will look something like the following;

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

Edit the file to implement the United States character keymapping by changing the file to the following;

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

Then we need to reboot the Pi to let the changes take effect;

sudo reboot

To manage the keyboard you are looking for you might need to make a few trials to get it right
