- Copy the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to the directory /etc/hal/fdi/policy.
cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/.
After the copy, open the file "10-keymap.fdi" in a text editor and locate the section below:
<!-- Edit (as needed) these four lines in the copied fdi file -->
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
Change the above section to look like below:
<!-- Edit (as needed) these four lines in the copied fdi file -->
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,pk</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />
<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">grp:shifts_toggle</merge>
In the Xkb.layout option we have specified the Urdu (pk) keyboard along with English (us). The hotkey to toggle between the two layouts is "presss both shift-keys" at the same time.
If you would, for example, like to use the NLA variant of the urdu pk kbd, the above section should look like the following (addition of Xkb.Variant option):
<!-- Edit (as needed) these four lines in the copied fdi file -->
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us,pk</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">",urd-nla"</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">grp:shifts_toggle</merge>
The possible layout variants for pk are "urd-phonetic", "urd-crulp", and "urd-nla".
