I have installed Lubuntu 25.10 on a Dell Latitude 7490.
I’m using the US Dvorak keyboard layout.
Everything seems to work fine, except for the following:
When I try to use keyboard shortcuts that are not application-specific (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal), I have to type ‘as if’ my keyboard is in Qwerty. For example, if I type Ctrl+Alt+T in Dvorak (T is where the K is on Qwerty), nothing at all happens. But if I type Ctrl+Alt+Y (Y in Dvorak is the T key on Qwerty), a terminal opens.
Normal shortcuts in applications (e.g. cut, copy, paste, save, italics, etc., as well as Ctrl+D to create a bookmark in Firefox, etc.) all work fine, with the keyboard in Dvorak.
I don’t have any other keyboard layouts installed.
Have you already checked LXOt Settings → Shortcut Keys ?
I had checked before, but decided to try again. I first tried to “change” the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut to … Ctrl+Alt+T, but typed with my Dvorak layout. It still displayed exactly the same on the screen, so then I tried Ctrl+Alt+K (typed on Dvorak), seeing as the qwerty ‘K’ is where my ‘T’ is on Dvorak. That didn’t solve the problem (neither Ctrl+Alt+T, nor Ctrl+Alt+K did anything). Then, I changed it back to Ctrl+Alt+T (still typing in Dvorak), and, voilà, it worked! I then went and ‘changed’ all the other ones, too. Oddly, I made a mistake while doing this, and had to reset the shortcuts to the defaults … but it still worked after that. It’s somewhat odd, but at least it works now.
The only one that doesn’t work is Ctrl+Alt+B to open a browser, but since I have never used that shortcut before, I’m not too worried about it for now.
Are there any other Dvorak/Colemak users experiencing this issue?
