-'''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 <menuchoice>KTouch -> Settings -> Keyboard Layouts</menuchoice> list, it might have existed in early versions but have not been ported to the KDE SC 4.x version.
