English - Russian keyboard mapping

This is my custom mapping for russian alphabet in my english keyboard in Ubuntu. I did this to avoid buying keyboard stickers for the usual Russian keyboard layout while I was learning Russian language.

How to install

Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

  1. Copy the file rc to the directory /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols
    • sudo cp rc /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
  2. Edit the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml:
    • Find the section layoutList.
    • Add the following:
    <layout>
  <configItem>
    <name>rc</name>
    <shortDescription>rc</shortDescription>
    <description>RussianCustom</description>
    <languageList>
      <iso639Id>cod</iso639Id>
    </languageList>
  </configItem>
  <variantList>
  </variantList>
</layout>
  3. In Settings - Keyboard:
    • Click + to add a new input source
    • Select the three falling dots and type Russian, the option "Other" will appear, select it.
    • Type RussianCustom, select it and click Add.

Layout

The following images do not show the actual mapping, but the position of the characters in the keyboard. This might be slightly different in different keyboards but oh-:
