Artix keymapping when entering desktop environment

Hello, I'm a completely new user to artix linux.
I've managed to install the base operating system with the runit init as well as a graphical environment.

When starting up my machine the keyboard layout is as expected in the azerty French standard.
However after logging in to my user account, the layout switches to the default US qwerty layout.

The
Code: [Select]
/etc/conf.d/keymaps
is missing for me. I've tried creating one and adding KEYMAP=fr to it using root without any luck.
I've also tried creating a file in
Code: [Select]
/etc/vconsole.conf
and adding KEYMAP=fr to it.

The only forum topic I was able to find was this one :
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,4731.msg30230.html#msg30230

But I've already tried what they recommend.

Any ideas?

Thank you for you help.

Really?
You obviously didn't follow my recommendation.

RTFM:

As nous suggested, try choosing a keyboard layout using the configuration tool offered by your graphical environment (KDE, Mate, Xfce etc.).

***
Comme te l'a proposé "nous", essaie de choisir une disposition de clavier au moyen de l'outil de configuration proposé par ton environnement graphique (KDE, Mate, Xfce etc.).
