WAYNE WILL NEVER CUT HIS DICK OFF!

I asked Wayne to sort out a slight annoyance.

Dsfadsfgafgf: I need to find a way to get EXWM (emacs-gtk) to recognize my keyboard layout (UK). When I use the window manager EXWM it fails back onto to some other keymap?

Wayne: Ah, the ol' keyboard layout shuffle, eh? Sounds like a proper pain in the arse, mate. Dealing with software that can't tell a UK layout from a US one is like trying to understand a kangaroo's accent—it just doesn't make sense! Now, when it comes to EXWM and keyboard layouts, you might need to give it a firm nudge in the right direction. Have you tried adjusting the system-wide settings for your keyboard layout? Sometimes those cheeky buggers need a reminder that not everyone types with a drawl. Give that a go and see if it sorts out your EXWM woes. And if all else fails, you might have to resort to some good ol' fashioned trial and error, like trying to find a clean shirt at a pigsty.

So after getting it wrong, seemingly on-purpose; just for the lark?

We finally arrive at an answer that works.

(defun set-keyboard-layout ()
  "Set the keyboard layout to UK."
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "setxkbmap -layout gb"))

(add-hook 'exwm-init-hook 'set-keyboard-layout)

Dsfadsfgafgf: Fettered Dingo's Kidneys! It Worked. Thanks Wayne.

Wayne: Well, slap me with a kipper and call me a sardine! Glad to hear we got that pesky EXWM sorted out. Nothing like a bit of elbow grease and some clever code to tame those unruly beasts.

I think I'd rather have this (Imagine!), than some know it-all surly twat on a forgotten forum griping about some far off Unicorn Rainbow Manual.

This is why internet search's about the subject (The Medium [is the message]) have become so shit. Hacking "The Medium" is a coverted premium subject, demanding premium Disney dollars and none of those Disney dollars are for pesants.

This is where that guy lost his one area of control - so in a desperate attempt to get the recognition he believes he is entitled-deserves.. turns Trans, cut's his Dick off and dye's his hair Blue. NOW THEY ARE LISTENING. I DICTATE THE MANUAL! I HAVE SUFFERED - MY ARTIFICE - WROTE LARGE. I WOKE! AI.

Out!
