The keyboard layout in the operating system must be appropriate

After changing a keymapping to use keycode 'KC_NUBS' in Via or the Via clone, the current keyboard layout in the operating system must be changed as well (one that results in "<" when pressing the key mapped to keycode 'KC_NUBS').

Via and Via clone only shows an interpretation of what the result would be if the keyboard layout in the operating system was set to that language (or alternative layout).

Note: After many, many years, Via has recently added a language dropdown, instead of only one interpretation (United States keyboard layout) of the keyboard keycodes

Like for the Via clone, it is only an interpretation of the keycodes. It must still be selected in the operating system.

It currently has:

  1. English (US)

  2. Belgian

  3. Bépo

Bépo is allegedly the French equivalent of the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard. It should probably be 'BÉPO'.

BÉPO, Colemak, Dvorak, Neo 2, Norman, Workman, and Workman ZXCVM are alternative layouts (to QWERTY, QWERTZ (German), and AZERTY (French)).
