Keyboard layouts and switching between them is managed by the Xorg server. Xorg server uses X keyboard extension (XKB) to define keyboard layouts.

Current keyboard config is stored in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file.

The X keyboard extension - XKB - defines how keyboard codes are handled in Xorg. XKB allows using multiple keyboard layouts in X and switching between them.

By default, XKB is stored in /usr/share/X11/xkb directory. It's XKB base directory.

Keyboard layouts and switches may be defined, changed, set by various commands:

setxkbmap
xmodmap
xkbcomp
localectl (partially)
others

See commands' man manuals for more details.

Thanks again.
I've already tried all of the above, unfortunately it doesn't work.
Apparently you will have to switch to KDE, there switching layouts works as needed, right out of the box.

fogary I've created a script to switch to the Dvorak keyboard layout because the keyboard layout reverts to QWERTY sometimes after an upgrade and on my desktop, the layout also reverts to QWERTY after suspending or a period of inactivity.

Following is the script I use. It should give you ideas...
#!/bin/bash setxkbmap dvorak xset r rate 250 25 & echo "Keyboard layout set to Dvorak."

This might be useful as well. Finally, check out Configuring Keyboard Layout in the Solus Help Center.
