They manage to make it so complicated it’s a whole thing to even just delete the default keyboard layout it thinks should be the default for your language too, if it stops adding it back at all.
I want “French (Canada)”, not " Canadian multilangual english CSA" or “Canadian multilangual french CSA”.
It’s not like any of them even matches the US keyboards we end up using anyway, everyone knows the labels on the keycaps never matches what key it actually prints. Just let me pick the god damn layout I want.
On Mac it’s even worse because you have to install it from some random dude’s GitHub, and because it’s a third-party layout, it straight up won’t let you delete the default one just in case, and I have to switch it back whenever it mysteriously decides to switch to the other one on its own for no reason.
On Linux:

Perhaps asking in a windows forum would be more appropriate.

Have you tried

Because Linux is just a kernel.
It is pretty easy on KDE.

This is too short. Here is the long form: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

It’s just WIN + Spacebar, or click the keyboard layout icon in the taskbar.
I meant adding the layout
- GolfNovemberUniform ( @GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml ) 1•8 hours ago
Win + spacebar doesn’t work in some cases and if something is opened in fullscreen, closing it isn’t very convenient. The actual key binding that works is alt + shift I think.
- MicrowavedTea ( @MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub ) 2•5 hours ago
Technically alt + shift changes between languages and ctrl + shift changes between layouts within the current language. Win + spacebar circles through all of them. So if you want to change from qwerty to dvorak I don’t think alt + shift will work, at least in windows 10.

I don’t know about these days, but I remember making a custom layout for Windows back in 2005 that was US Qwerty keyboard plus AltGR+auose for äüö߀ (German umlauts and euro symbol).
I forget how I did it, as I haven’t used Windows for serious work in years.

Presumably you downloaded Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC), which I still had to do to make a custom keyboard layout in 2022. Funnily enough I was also wanting to use AltGr to add diacritics to vowels, because I don’t want to have to go to the backtick key for àèìòù
