# 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:
|
|
```xml
|
|
<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-:
