XfKC is deprecated. A big part of its code is now included in Xfce 4.6 (xfwm4), which makes it useless. It is recommended to upgrade to Xfce 4.6 if you need XfKC features.

XfKC

XfKC is a keyboard layout configuration tool for the Xfce desktop environment. It allows you to select your keyboard model, and the layouts that you want to use. You won't have to tweak your xorg.conf to set up your keyboard.

Its build dependencies are:

XfKC use

Running XfKC from the menu, or from the command line will run the configuration GUI. To apply the configuration, you need to run:

xfkc --apply

You can change your ~/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-sessionrc file to apply the configuration at Xfce startup. If you use the xkb panel plugin, make sure to run xfkc before the panel, or the xkb plugin will crash. Your xfce4-sessionrc file could look like:

  [...]

  [Failsafe Session]
  Count=5
  Client0_Command=xfwm4
  Client0_PerScreen=False
  Client1_Command=xfkc,--apply
  Client1_PerScreen=False
  Client2_Command=xfce4-panel
  Client2_PerScreen=False
  Client3_Command=xfdesktop
  Client3_PerScreen=False
  Client4_Command=Thunar,--daemon
  Client4_PerScreen=False
