Not the case here at all, did multiple updates in several partitions the last few days, all on the old US.mirror, and everything has been rock-a-doodle-doo so far.

Update speeds were normal today on my non-pkgmaster-ed sources.list on Ascii.

You are saying because the new repositories now are working the original ones are very slow?

If you haven't updated your installation for a while, make sure you update your keyring BEFORE you switch repositories.  Of course if we are talking about miyo-lxqt there is no problem, it was already recent.

When I made the Ascii-based .isos (XTRA and Qt), I debated on whether to use the new pkgmaster sources.list or stick with the regular ascii one. I decided to stick with the regular, because the new one is still considered to be "testing".

If this does not work, there is also /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

To be able to alternate between keyboard mappings/languages (example us,fr,es) with right alt + right shift the file should read as follows:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "system-keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,fr,es"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ralt_rshift_toggle"
EndSection

Thank you a million ...

Sure thing. Sorry about the wild goose chase with "loadkeys".

If I could get l-alt l-shft to switch between them as I have been used to doing for years and years, it would be splendid.

Ahhh...keyboard shortcut for toggling is better! In that same /etc/default/keyboard file is an entry for that...

XKBOPTIONS="grp:lalt_lshift_toggle"

"Should" work...unless I didn't name the keys correctly...

Just checked this on mine, and that works.

...but you have to reboot for it to take effect.

Had to log out to get back to my US layout

σετχκβμαπ -θσ

is not a linux recognizable command

I know exactly what you mean

1. Add the layouts that you want to use to /etc/default/keyboard and save the file. I added ru, gb, and de.

2. I used ru (Russian) in my test. Open the terminal and using the two-letter code for the keyboard you want to use, enter...

setxkbmap ru

I opened my text editor and started typing, and it was typing in Russian. Had to log out to get back to my US layout, because Russian keys don't match US keys. LOL!

If that works for you, it would be handy to have it in your menu for using the different layouts so that you don't have to logout to return to your default.

$ setxkbmap -print -verbose 10

Try this command and see if it gives you any hints.
The command above (loadkeys) does not work unless you manually set up some keymap files, I think.
