Raspberry Pi OS • Can't get keyboard to switch between languages

$
0
0
I have been trying to get my keyboard to support English (UK) and Greek, but I am getting all sorts of strange behaviour. Eg

* with Shift I get US characters (eg ~!@#$ on the top row). I also all Greek capital letters instead of capital latin letters (ie Shift-D gives me Δ). The only way to get D is by using CapsLock.

* Alt+Shift should toggle languages but it switches the keyboard between completely unresponsive and latin.

* sometimes I lose ctrl combinations. Eg ctrl+x gives x. This makes gracefully exiting nano very hard indeed for me.

Changing keyboard setup in Raspberry Pi Configuration and raspi-config appear to do something but then the keyboard behaves the same.

I tried editing ~/.config/wayfire.ini, switched to labwc and experimented with ~/.config/labwc/environment which now looks like below following https://github.com/gnmearacaun/RasPiOS-labwc:

Code:

XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL=pc105XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=gb,grXKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT=XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=grp:alt_shift_toggle# Scaling for gtk apps, experimentalGDK_SCALE=1.2GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.2
After several days of trying, I can't get the keyboard to work and ran out of ideas. Any help please?
