Solved Installing different kbd

[macondo]

Hi all, is there a way I can use the installation cd and change my version of the Spanish kbd? The one I got installed has no accents, my mistake.
Thanks, I'm using FreeBSD 10.3.

If you are working from a temporary environment (like a live shell from an install image) I find kbdmap(1) to be a lifesaver. And yes, it is mentioned in the Handbook page that @wblock linked to.

Sorry for the delay. I almost solved the problem, I put this line in my /home/username/.xinitrc:

setxkbmap es -model pc105

The only thing missing is the Euro sign, the accents and the letter 'ñ' are working fine.

Thanks gents...

The only thing missing is the Euro sign

With setxkbmap es -model pc105 I have Spanish letters on some keys. The Euro sign appears for me with the key right next to the space bar and 'e'.

FWIW, the key to the immediate left of the spacebar is usually called "Alt" and the one to the immediate right of the spacebar is usually called "AltGr". And for the record AltGr+e produces € sign here too (Norwegian keyboard map).

It doesn't matter what keyboard/layout/map you're using, if you've set up a compose key. For the Euro sign, it's <compose key>, then e, then +/=.

To all of you, THANKS!!!.

AltGR + e should give me the euro sign. Instead I get this:

EUR

Oh well, I don't use euros in the jungles of Central America.

I think I got it solved, I put this in my /home/username/.xinitrc

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout es, ISO-8859-15-acc
