### My keyboard layout settings are not behaving correctly. What should I do?
In `Q` → `System Tools` → `Keyboard` → `Layout`, leave the checkbox `Use system defaults` checked. Do not customize the keyboard layout here.
The best approach is to choose the right keyboard layout during the installation process. But if you want to change things afterwards, you can try this workaround.
Assuming XFCE desktop: in `Q` → `System Tools` → `Keyboard` → `Layout`, leave the checkbox "`Use system defaults`" checked. Do not customize the keyboard layout here.
Set the system-wide layout and options for `xorg` with the `localectl` command in `dom0`. You can use `localectl --help` as a starting point.
Example: `localectl set-x11-keymap us dell ,qwerty compose:caps`.
This generates the appropriate configuration in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf`.

Restarting `xorg` is required. The easy way is to reboot the system.
