How can I reset my keyboard layout after modifying it with xkbcomp?

Is there a way to do this without restarting X?

    Try:

    setxkbmap us

    (Replacing us with the keyboard layout you want). If using a variant (e.g. intl), try

    setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl

    Here's a list of keyboard layouts.

  2. Check current layout and options:

    setxkbmap -print -verbose 10

    Reset layout to US and reset options:

    setxkbmap -layout us -option

    (Without the empty -option parameter, no options would be reset.)

    Use the first command to check the result.

  3. Use setxkbmap -layout us. It looks to completely reset the changes
