    I have this in my hyprland.conf

    input {
    kb_layout = us
    kb_variant = colemak_dh_iso
    kb_model =
    kb_options=
    kb_rules =

    You list some other variants with grep -i 'colemak_dh' /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst, there are a few.

      Yo! Thanks a lot. It works.

      I tried “colemak-dh” instead of “colemak_dh”, thats why it didnt work. My monkey brain didnt think of using underscore.

      I wanna set it up on login shell too. So i tried

      localectl set-keymap  colemak_dh

      But it says Failed to set keymap: Keymap colemak_dh is not installed.

      I tried

      [tomri@arch ~]$ localectl list-keymaps | grep colemak
colemak
[tomri@arch ~]$

      Thanks in advance

        For the iso variant: localectl --no-convert set-keymap mod-dh-iso-us
        localectl set-x11-keymap us 105 colemak_dh_iso For the ansi variant, switch to 104 and edit iso to ansi

            Oh and fyi you’ll probably need the second command too if you ever use x11, iirc set-keymap doesn’t convert properly so you need to set it manually localectl set-x11-keymap us 104 colemak_dh
