Installation instructions

  1. Add the contents of no.txt to the end of the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no

  2. Look up the following section in the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml:

    <layout>
      <configItem>
        <name>no</name>

        <shortDescription>no</shortDescription>
        <description>Norwegian</description>
        <languageList>
          <iso639Id>nor</iso639Id>
          <iso639Id>nob</iso639Id>
          <iso639Id>nno</iso639Id>
        </languageList>
      </configItem>
      <variantList>
  1. Add the following variant block after the line <variantList>:
        <variant>
          <configItem>
            <name>norwerty</name>
            <description>Norwerty</description>
          </configItem>
        </variant>
  1. Finally, after the line ! variant in the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst add the following line:
      norwerty          no: Norwerty
    

Now Norwerty should show up as one of the alternative keyboard layouts for Norwegian.
