<p>Since about 2011 I've started using dvorak as my main keyboard layout and like the efficiency compared to QWERTY.</p>
+ <h2>Dvorak update update (2015-10-30)</h2>
+ <p>Note to self: x-keyboard-config on arch linux overwrites the
+ file where the dvorak russian keymap is stored and by that the
+ xserver fails to set the keymap, returning to default qwerty.
+ This can be solved by loading the keymap from a custom
+ location? Or maybe to pin the file so that the package manager
+ doesn't overwrite it?</p>

+ <p>Since having to setup the keyboard after login can be useful if you
+ don't have the rights to edit system configuration files on your system(eg.
+ work) but it's not a durable solution for your own system. If you want to
+ make these things semipermanent you can use the handy program called
+ <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/localectl.html">
+ localectl
+ </a> which writes an xorg.conf.d/ file. In my specific case these are the
+ commands to set the keymap for the console and for within X. For the
+ console I only use normal dvorak whereas in X I want to be able to
+ switch(with menu key) and use the right alt as compose key.
+ <pre>
+# localectl set-x11-keymap --no-convert dvorak,ru pc104 ,phonetic_dvorak compose:ralt,grp:menu_toggle
+# localectl set-keymap --no-convert dvorak
+ </pre>

<p>When learning russian I had to type some stuff in russian, as I found
out that there was a phonetic keyboard I was excited but it didn't work on
