How to changing TTY keyboard layout?

Help
1

I’m trying to customize the keyboard RU layout in the console. But it does not work in the terminal (for example tty2,3,4). Works only for X terminal.

xserver = {
  enable = true;
  layout = "us,ru";
  xkbOptions = "caps:swapescape,grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle";
};

Could you specify settings for TTY layout

I think that is what the consoleKeyMap option is for:

I use i18n.consoleUseXkbConfig (for TTY to use the same settings).

e.g.,

{
  services.xserver.layout = "us,ua";
  services.xserver.xkbVariant = "workman,";

  # Use same config for linux console
  i18n.consoleUseXkbConfig = true;
}

Works for me, Thanks!

For reference: The used option i18n.consoleUseXkbConfig has been renamed to console.useXkbConfig
