You can reproduce the issue with org.gnome.Boxes flatpak. You can test it without a Brazilian keyboard by looking for a key behaving differently after applying "br-latin1-abnt2" on archinstall, then after booting in the distro you will notice that the key is now normal, which means that "br-latin1-abnt2" is not being read. > After setting the keyboard layout to "br-latin1-abnt2" and installing Arch Linux with archinstall
How did you set that keyboard layout before Arch was installed?

Ok, so you set the keyboard layout *during* archinstall, not before it. This means it's an archinstall bug for not generating the necessary locales to support the choice you used it to make. Please report to Arch. Thanks! So it seems to be a Plasma bug. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502585#c8 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/139cc1c06454e31cc87fb3c3fa799f5591d98ab9/kcms/keyboard/kcm_keyboard.cpp#L50 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 502585 *** Layouts for Plasma are provided by the xkeyboard-config project. You can check the list of layouts with `man xkeyboard-config` or `xkbcli list`. There is no such layout as `br-latin1-abnt2`. If you mean the standard ABNT2 layout, it’s simply the default and standard Brazilian layout `br`. |
