Ubuntu – Change keyboard layout in Wine

keyboard-layoutwine

I've got some games running in Wine, but I can't figure out how to change the keyboard layout. By default, I use the dvorak layout in Ubuntu, which isn't very friendly for most games. I can change it back to QWERTY in Ubuntu, but when I fire up a game, it stays with my default dvorak. How can I change to QWERTY inside my wine application?

Best Answer

In the keyboard control panel, you can configure multiple keyboard layouts from the Layouts tab. Click on Options... and expand the Key(s) to change layout section. Pick the key combo you prefer and you should have an easy way to switch layouts.

If the Separate layout for each window checkbox is checked in the main keyboard control panel, then each window should remember which layout they are using separately rather than it being a global setting.
