Manjaro 5.17.5-1 Keyboard stopped working
#8
I followed this post on Reddit, and got the top row to work:

Quote: Wrote:I had the same problem with the PinePhone Keyboards upper row extra symbols (+-_=~) not working using (danctnix) Arch with Plasma-Mobile and it took me a while to fix it since every guide I found so far was about phosh. That's why I am posting my solution here, hope it helps somebody.
  1. copy xkb/rules and xkb/symbols from https://codeberg.org/HazardChem/PinePhone_Keyboard into
    Code:
    Code:
    /usr/share/X11/xkb
  2. Put
    Code:
    Code:
    export XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL=ppkb
    in
    Code:
    Code:
    sudoedit /etc/profile.d/ppkb
    and
    Code:
    Code:
    sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/ppkb
  3. Install
    Code:
    Code:
    plasma-desktop
    package, which gives you the keyboard settings menu which is missing from plasma-mobile

  4. Open the settings via gui or
    Code:
    Code:
    plasma-open-settings kcm_keyboard
    , go to Advanced and search for something like "Key for switching into third keyboard layer" (my settings are in german, so it's probably a litte different) and select your preferred modifier key, like super or some alt key

  5. You probably need to reboot for the environment variable to be set, and after that it should work

It might also work if you skip 2.) and then set the the keyboard layout in the plasma-desktop keyboard settings menu, but I dont know since I used the method described above.Also, I think the
Code:
Code:
/usr/share/X11/xkb
directory is owned by
Code:
Code:
xkeyboard-config
package, so you might need to repeat this when it updates (or tell pacman not to update this package)
