Activating the APL Keyboard Layout
As a Linux or macOS user, you can switch to the secondary APL keyboard layout with the program setxkbmap. The following command makes the combination Right-Alt a layout switch. Note the comma just in front of dyalog. No space is between them (the invisible “empty” variant before the comma refers to the us layout):
| | setxkbmap -layout us,apl -variant ,dyalog -option grp:switch |
Press the combination to activate the secondary APL layout. Otherwise, the standard U.S. layout is used. The same program with different options removes the Right-Alt binding:
| | setxkbmap -layout us -option grp:switch |
If you’re a Windows user or none of the above worked, visit the Dyalog website[20] for more options.
