On install I chose UK English with US Keyboard. For some reason upon installation Qubes set my laptop keyboard to UK, even though I chose US keyboard during installation.
My guess is that when Qubes set language to UK English it automatically set the keyboard to UK, despite what I entered at install.
How do I change the default language to US English, and will that fix my keyboard layout?

Hello!
If you aren't going to use any other keyboard layouts than US, then look into setting it on X server level. That's what I do at least.
Basically you need to add a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ in dom0 (it doesn't really matter what you call the file, as long as you don't have clashing files).
For US layout the file would look something like:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
hope this helps!

This did the trick! Simple fix, thank you very much. Edit 00-keyboard
file in that location, change it from gb to us, and restart and my
keyboard is correct.
