  1. Click the next link to download it: deekayen-workman-fb07f45.tar.gz. Extract workman.iso15.kmap or workman-p.iso15.kmap file from /deekayen-workman-fb07f45/linux_console/ directory.

    Then move it to the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ directory using terminal:

    sudo cp workman.iso15.kmap /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/workman

    After, run:

    setxkbmap -v workman && xset r 66

    You should get something similar to this:

    Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc(pc105)+workman+level3(ralt_switch)
geometry:   pc(pc105)

    To switch back to QWERTY run: 

    setxkbmap us; xset -r 66

  2. Obtain the layout from https://github.com/ojbucao/workman and simply follow the instructions in xmodmap/readme.txt :

    setxkbmap us; xmodmap xmodmap/xmodmap.workman && xset r 66

    To switch back to QWERTY: 

    setxkbmap us; xset -r 66
