I want to create and set a custom keyboard layout with setxkbmap. I created a file in ~/.xkb/prog
with this content:
partial default alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "basic" {
include "latin(type4)"
name[Group1]="es for developers";
key <AE01> {[ 1, exclam, exclamdown, bar ]};
key <AD03> {[ e, E, EuroSign, sterling ]};
key <AB06> {[ n, N, ntilde, Ntilde ]};
key <AB07> {[ m, M, mu, mu ]};
key <AB10> {[ slash, question, questiondown, dead_hook ]};
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};
And I tried to load it with setxkbmap -I$HOME/.xkb "prog"
, but I get a 'Error loading new keyboard description'
I also tried it with setxkbmap -I$HOME/.xkb "prog" -print | xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb - $DISPLAY
, but I get this error: 'Can't find file "prog" for symbols include'

Try that last one, i.e.:
But put your layout in
~/.xkb/symbols/prog
(note the symbols subdirectory).
