Change matchbox keyboard layout

If you have the matchbox-keyboard installed you can change the layout. In /usr/share/matchbox-keyboard/ are the keyboard-files in xml format just take one an copy it to your home-directory

mkdir /home/root/.matchbox
cp /usr/share/matchbox-keyboard/keyboard.xml /home/root/.matchbox/

so now you can change the layout of the keyboard by changing this file you could add also more than one layout in that file and you can change this on-the-fly by using this button on your keyboard [->]

for example here is my keyboard.xml with german QWERTZ layout, numblock layout and default layout just copy it to your home directory, rename it to keyboard.xml and have fun

File:Keyboard.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
