Punjabi Keyboard for Linux
Use the Punjabi Keyboard below to type instantly on Linux — no install, no signup, no font downloads. Below the keyboard you'll find the official setup steps for Linux if you'd rather have it system-wide.
Install the Punjabi Keyboard on Linux
- On GNOME: Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources → +.

- Add the layout you need and a switch shortcut (often Super + Space).
- On other distros, configure ibus or fcitx5 with the matching engine.
Online Punjabi Keyboard vs. system keyboard
Linux input frameworks (ibus, fcitx5) are extremely flexible but can take a while to configure. The online Punjabi Keyboard works in any browser and is a no-setup alternative when you just need to type a passage and copy it.
Tips for Linux
On X11 you can also use xkbcomp or setxkbmap to load custom layouts — Wayland users typically rely on the desktop environment's input panel.
