I have following layout layouts/en_ru
xkb_keymap
xkb_keycodes include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" ;
xkb_geometry include "pc(pc104)" ;
xkb_types include "complete" ;
xkb_compat include "complete" ;
xkb_symbols
include "pc+us+ru:2+inet(evdev)"
include "group(rctrl_rshift_toggle)"
include "capslock(swapescape)"
// swap right alt and left control
replace key <RALT> [ Control_L ] ;
modifier_map Control <RALT> ;
// swap ; and : only in us layout
replace key <AC10> [ colon, semicolon ],
[ Cyrillic_zhe, Cyrillic_ZHE ] ;
// helpers //
// xinput list
// xinput test 16
// xkbcomp $DISPLAY out.xkb
// cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
;
;
which is loaded in $HOME/xinitrc like this
xkbcomp $HOME/.config/layouts/en_ru $DISPLAY
How to move all this to configuration.nix?
I have made first part of this happen by adding
xserver =
enable = true;
layout = "us,ru";
xkbOptions = "caps:swapescape,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle";
;
to my configuration.nix, but I don't know how to add this part and make it system wide
// swap right alt and left control
replace key <RALT> [ Control_L ] ;
modifier_map Control <RALT> ;
// swap ; and : only in us layout
replace key <AC10> [ colon, semicolon ],
[ Cyrillic_zhe, Cyrillic_ZHE ] ;

my first thought is that your swap-Ralt-Lctrl portion is a fairly simple new option to create. the swap-in-us-layout is less so. if altering the system xkb database on nixos is like most linuxes, here's how to make a new option: askubuntu.com/a/969232/669043 ... but i suspect it's a little more like implementing that sort of change as a local patch to a source package that then gets compiled for your particular system, and that's beyond my experience. if you can figure that out, you'd just add your new option to yourxkbOptionsline like any other option.

the swap-in-us-layout probably would need to be added as a separate variant (theoretically it could simplyinclude usand then do yourreplace key-- without the cyrillic symbols -- see/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/usfor examples). then instead oflayout = "us,ru"you'd specifylayout = "us-myvariant,ru".
