Linux AZERTY / QWERTY Keyboard

 

 

For Linux Machines or Virtual Machines (REDHAT, CentOS, Fedora, ETC... ), In order to move the Keyboard from "qwerty" to "azerty", You Have to edit the Following File :

- Modify “KEYTABLE“, By replacing “us” by “fr“. save and close the File.

 

/etc/sysconfig/keyboard

The /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file controls the behavior of the keyboard. The following values may be used:

  • KEYBOARDTYPE="sun|pc" where sun means a Sun keyboard is attached on /dev/kbd, or pc means a PS/2 keyboard connected to a PS/2 port.

  • KEYTABLE="<file>", where <file> is the name of a keytable file.

    For example: KEYTABLE="us". The files that can be used as keytables start in /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 and branch into different keyboard layouts from there, all labeled <file>.kmap.gz. The first file found beneath /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 that matches the KEYTABLE setting is used.

 

Hope This helps :)
