| I have been looking for a way to change to the keyboard layout of the Persian language for the Ubuntu operating system for a few years, which might be identical to the one I used to have while I was a windows user. This is probably the problem of most of the people who want to use Ubuntu. However, they cannot switch to it since it is almost impossible to type correctly using its predefined Persian language keyboard. Finally, this nightmare ended for me when I find what dear @KotlinFarsi did a few years ago. However, after following his instruction, I realized that this is not working at least on version 18.04 LTS+. So I decided to read his codes and generate an updated version of his file, which would work correctly. | |||

evdev.xmlandir, instead of replacing them with entire files.xmlstarletto be installed in order to modifyevdev.xml.evdev.xmlfrom the repo, since it's no longer needed.This might also hopefully fix #13, as long as they uninstall the layout (explained below), and then reinstall using the new installer script after this PR gets accepted.
To uninstall the layout, remove
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ir_winif you have it (this will uninstall the current version of the project, which uses a separateir_winfile), and also, restore/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/irand/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xmlto their original versions (e.g. copy them over from a fresh install).If you update xkb after the !473 gets accepted, the files in your system will automatically be replaced, and you don't need to uninstall the layout before updating, unless you are using the old
ir_win-based version of this layout.
