+# Dvorak-custom
+A custom dvorak keyboard layout for Linux (with Gnome 3) which uses the ```<>|``` key on German keyboards to type umlauts with the US Dvorak layout. Press ```<>|``` followed by o, u, or a to get the corresponding umlaut. To get ß, type shift + ```<>|```.
+
+## Installation
+Apply all patches manually or run ```install.sh``` as root.
+	
+## Notes
+Add dvorak-us-de to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
+
+Add layout manually to:
+* /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml
+* /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
+* /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst
+* /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml
+
+Then reboot.
+
+Not needed, but you can see the currently active layouts here: ```org.gnome.desktop.input-sources```
