29. Keyboard

During the installation of Xubuntu, options to select the keyboard’s language and layout were presented and applied. In order to make changes to these and additional keyboard options, open the Keyboard settings dialog.

The Behavior tab provides options for the Num Lock key state, key repeat speed and delay, as well as text cursor blinking speed. The Application Shortcuts tab allows you to manage the keyboard shortcuts for the launching of applications. The Layout tab provides options to select the keyboard model and manage keyboard languages and layouts. With multiple keyboard layouts present, you also have the option to set a keyboard shortcut to cycle through the keyboard layouts.

[Note]

Note: To easily determine which keyboard layout is currently active and switch between them, you can add the Keyboard Layouts plugin to the panel. For additional non-application keyboard shortcuts, see the Keyboard tab of the Window Manager settings dialog. For control over the behavior of various power related keyboard buttons, see the General tab of the Power Manager settings dialog.
