Change keyboard layout (Dvorak, Qwerty, etc.) in Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
How does one change the keyboard layout from Qwerty to another layout such as Dvorak?
I looked in:
- Settings > Region & Language
- Settings > Keyboard
- Help > Ubuntu Desktop Guide > Search
But I found no clue about how to change keyboard layout.
I tried searching for English
in the Region & Language
settings. But no Dvorak
option appears, nor any other Qwerty or other layout — contrary to this posting.
Solution 1:
You were part way there.
Click one of those English
items as shown in your screenshot, such as English (United States)
. Clicking reveals an additional list of more options. In that secondary list you should see a English (Dvorak)
item. Select, then click Add
button.
You will now find a en
menu on your main screen. Use that menu to choose between keyboard layouts (Dvorak, Qwerty).
