Change keyboard language

If you want to change the keyboard language, the quickest way is to use the kbdmap command and it applies to the current session. Create an entry in the rc.conf file, so that the language settings remain even after a restart.

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the rc.conf file with the doas ee /etc/rc.conf command

2. Navigate with the arrow keys to the end of the file and add the following line:
keymap="de.kbd".

3. Use an appropriate country code. In this sample, de is used as the country code for German.

The language settings in the rc.conf file are permanently applied. Restart TwinCAT/BSD with shutdown -r now for the changes to take effect. Remove the entry to restore the default settings.
