Yeah, it would be great if this was packaged into common distros. I don’t think Debian has a graphical keyboard layout editor in its repository, and this is by far the slickest one.

Ever think of making a .deb available to the Debian/Ubuntu community? I know it would be appreciated.

I use Ubuntu10.04. I have Greek Polytonic Keyboard to type Ancient Greek.
When I type Greek Oxia, the system automatically displays a Tonos!

The Tonos and the Oxia are not the same, so I have incompatibility with the Perseus.tufts website (one of biggest ancient Greek websites) and ancient Greek spellchecker sees every word I type incorrect, I don’t want to use their online system all the time to do work!

I tried your keyboard layout editor to change key bindings for dead_acute with U1FFD (Greek Oxia) but the key is not behave dead anymore: when I press it, it outputs Oxia (it should do nothing when pressed, and after I press a vowel it should output vowel with Oxia)

Could you PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME? FILE SE PARAKALW DEN MPORW NA KANW THN DOYLEIA MOU EXW FAEI TO INTERNET DEN MPORW NA BRW AKRH.

Baagli and everyone else who is having trouble:
If the “Start Character map” button does nothing, open a terminal and type “gucharmap”. If it doesn’t load up, type “sudo apt-get install gucharmap” and then run “gucharmap” (without quotes). From there, drag-and-drop the characters onto the keyboard in the layout editor.

Pothik: You probably do not have GNOME installed. The button simply starts Character Map, /usr/bin/gucharmap
What you can do is simply install the ‘gucharmap’ package and start ‘gucharmap’ manually.

The latest version of the program is available from

Thanks for this software. I have tried it. In my case, it can open existing xkb layouts in my local drive. I can see the layout. But I can not make any change because the “start character map” command button is not working. The dialog box that you have shown in this blog post (2nd figure from top) is not showing. So, no change can be make. Please help.

This was extremely useful! This should totally be packaged by most distributions. I also think you should make a hassle-free package with the xkb grammar already compiled.

[...] these instructions to set it up. If you want to tweak your own keyboard layout (in Linux), there is a guide for that [...]
