As is to be expected, this modifies /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:
Interesting, I didn't actually realize that myself before.
Option "XkbLayout" "fr_CH-latin1"
According to this link
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Configuration_du_clavier_apr%C3%A8s...
the XkbLayout should read "ch(fr)" instead of "fr_CH-latin1", as the system console and X.org seem to use a different notation for selecting the layout in this particular case:
- Dans le terminal - Pour la Suisse romande: loadkeys fr_CH-latin1
- Dans X11 / Xorg - Configurer le clavier de manière permanente: Option "XkbLayout" "ch(fr)"
Then, this should work as well:
localectl set-x11-keymap 'ch(fr)' pc105 nodeadkey
This looks like a CentOS bug to me: unable to define a non-US system-wide keyboard when using KDE.
That could be possible, of course. On FreeBSD, with the keyboard layout configured the old-fashioned way via /etc/X11/xorg.conf, KDE does respect the system-wide settings. I would expect KDE to behave the same on CentOS. However, I only had to deal with easy layouts like "de" and "us" so far; Swiss-French might pose a bit more of a challenge. ;-)
