To make the transition to Colemak easier there are 5 layouts used commonly - there is a whole discussion here about the many layouts and variants here.
Add each layout configuration section to file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols
, and make sure you declare each layout in file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml
: in the appropriate language.
//
// Portuguese Tarmak 5th level.
// This is a Tarmak-based layout, designed for the Portuguese language and customized
// for portuguese keyboard layouts.
