Keyboard layout in wayland - how to change

General
1

using cachyos-hyprland and don’t find the way to change the keyboard layout from en_US (default) to de
any hints ?

you do it in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

There should be a section

input {
xxxx
}

just change the first line from us → de and save. Hyprland will autoreload your config and then you should have de kb layout

EDIT:

Also, when hyprland 0.45 package hits the stable repos you will pretty surely see four lines of errors from your config (cant remember if cachy-config has shadows etc enabled)

There are some breaking changes in 0.45 version that you need to set (after updating the package):

got it — thanks :+1:

EDIT: now tried a preconfigured setup (ml4w)
there the configfile is in ~/.config/hypr/conf/keyboard.conf
