Only 4 keyboard layouts allowedfor Linux Mint. How can I change this?

[emenjee]

Hi there everyone.

Question is pretty straightforward (see thread title) : is it possible to have more than 4 keyboard layouts in Linux Mint?

I'm a newbie coming in from Windows where one can have as many keyboard layouts as one wants and would like this capacity to continue.

Or is this impossible?

I've searched and there seems to be a diy (but rather code-heavy solution for a newbie like me) solution here on the askubuntu.com forum:

..../questions/107945/cant-add-more-than-four-keyboard-layouts (I can't put the whole askubuntu.com url or else my post gets refused as potential spam)

of course that's for ubuntu ... can I assume it'll work for Linux Mint too?

Or do I have to switch to another distro?

With Linux Mint which I run you go to keyboard and this is what it brings up

Going by the amount of space underneath the keyboard I use there seems to room for more than four keyboards.
