External keyboard language

[Don_Saucisse]

In my country we type with azerty keyboard. I have changed the inmenu keyboard correctly to this input language. That is not the problem. But it does not correctly take over that selected language when i use external keyboards (bluetooth nor cabled). Only when in desktop mode does my external keyboard have the correct azerty input(after i changed it in settings)

If you use Decky, it might be more convenient, but otherwise no

Installing a third-party tool just to correct a problem that can be corrected with a text editor is rather laziness or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ :D

Thanks it works, with "fr" layout ! You deserve an award.
For people wanting to save 1 click :
(In Desktop Mode)
Now open a terminal, open the file with nano and put in the XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT into the file and press STRG+X and press y to save the file.

sudo nano /etc/environment
## add your wanted localization in the file (see the following file)
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=de

then REBOOT your steam deck and german keyboard layout will work in gaming mode

I got this fixed easily. Install decky loader (google it, not hard at all) and install the plugin "klang" so you can select what kind of layout you want for the external keyboard.

Нет там такого расшинения!
