Two Keyboards with different layouts on Ubuntu 18
I know similar questions have been asked already, but I did not find an answer to my problem. My Laptop has a German QWERTZ Keyboard Layout, as well as my pairing keyboard. My primary Keyboard is an US QWERTY keyboard. On Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS, I used the following script to change the Layout just for the US keyboard :
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for id in $(xinput -list | grep 'Logitech USB Keyboard' | cut -f 2 | cut -d= -f 2); do
setxkbmap -device $id -layout us -variant altgr-intl
done
I also set "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.keyboard active" to 'false' to prevent Gnome from overwriting these settings. I'm not completely sure if I did anything else in ubuntu Gnome 16.04, but as far as I know this used to work fine.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 18 I find that the keyboard layout is changed back to the system-wide default (german qwertz) after some time. Does anyone know how I can prevent Gnome from doing that?

Maybe this can help you?
First, use xinput to identify your keyboards.
Then, use setxkbmap to set the layout.
My keyboards are id 10 (laptop integrated) and id 17 (external keyboard).
Now, set my external keyboard to be Swedish layout, and my internal to Dvorak:
$ setxkbmap -device 17 se
$ setxkbmap -device 10 dvorak
