Re: To customize a non-english keyboard layout, Reply #1 – 17 October 2022, 05:46:25 To get Russian characters for occasional use on an English keyboard I use fcitx (not fcitx5) and when the onscreen keyboard is enabled which you can operate with mouse clicks the keyboard also has the Russian characters temporarily. Not everyone likes fcitx and it has it's flaws, like how do you get punctuation while typing Russian characters, I switch back to English, and there are other options, but I've used it for years anyway. On some desktops you can set alternate keyboard layouts which can be selected from a desktop panel icon widget shortcut thing and switch between them easily, by selecting a layout from a drop down menu for example. You can buy little character stickers so your keys are also marked for the different characters for the alternate layout as well as the regular one if you want. I'm sure there are other ways to approach this too, perhaps others have more advice.
