Adding new layout

	file location: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us

	add layout as in layout.txt at dvorak section of file

Adding new keyboard layout details - to update in gnome

	file location: /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml

	add details as in layout-details.txt at us section of long xml file

---------------------

After this all works, file but pressing backspace(originally capslock) continuously won't invoke mutiple backspace, but only one.

To fix the issue, we need to run a command 'xmodmap -e "clear Lock"'

one way (the way I use)

	adding this command into .zshrc or .bashrc

	- now these are executed, when user opens terminal

	- user needs to open terminal at least once (after reboot) to fix this issue

another way

	adding cron job schedule at every reboot

	>crontab -e

	adding below line

	"@reboot sh path-to-capslock-repeatable-sh"
