Hi, this keyboard don't have latam support, so i made it.
Hola, este teclado no tiene soporte latam, asi que lo hice.

I have tested it all, and it works in any Xorg session
Lo he testeado todo, y funciona en cualquier sesion de Xorg

to install it, copy this in the end of your latam file, in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/latam

para instalarlo, copia esto al final de tu archivo latam, en
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/latam

to activate it, run
para activarlo, corre

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout latam\(halmak\)

a personal improvement is activate caps:backspace, that converts your (unused) caps lock key to a backspace.
and allow it to repeat (the xset at the end)
una mejora personal es activar caps:backspace, que convierte tu (sin uso) tecla bloq mayus en un retroceso.
y permitirle la repetición (el xset al final)

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout latam\(halmak\) -option caps:backspace && xset r 66

uninstall - desinstalar

to uninstall it, just delete the code you have pasted in your latam file
para desinstalarlo, solo borra el codigo que pegaste en tu archivo latam

Note: you must run the command to apply every session, but you can automate it, writing the command in ~/.xprofile
Nota: deberas correr el comando para aplicar cada sesion, pero puedes automatizarlo escribiendo el comando en ~/.xprofile
