Install new X keymap

Raw

Get your keymap, e.g:

wget https://xnybre.dk/keymap/xsk

Then copy it to the appropriate dir:

sudo cp xsk /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/

Set the keymap as currently active:

setxkbmap xsk

Make it your default keymap on X startup by adding a file such as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf containing:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "system-keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "xsk"
EndSection

This will apply the xsk keymap to all X input devices identified as keyboards.
