How to Add a Keyboard Layout to KTouch
KTouch comes with a number of pre-installed keyboard files. You can simply select the keyboard from the list in the main menu that matches your own keyboard layout. If you can't find a matching keyboard layout, you can either port an old one or make one from scratch. KTouch includes a dialog to make it easy for you.
If your keyboard layout is not in the list, it might have existed in early versions but have not been ported to the KDE SC 4.x version.
