How to configure keyboard on Crunchbang

So this blog is written from my Old EEEPC 701 with 4G SSD. I used to run a exotic Gentoo until I've been away from it for 4 months and forget how to use it. So I've tried some distros and all and really like Crunchbang!
But it ended, so now I'm using whatever I can use until everything require or too much maintenance or too much everything. I like this netbook, it was donated to me and I like to keep using it.
Enough, let's get to the keyboard part. Basically you need to edit the keyboard file:
sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard
And if your keyboard is us intl, modify the file like this:
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="intl"
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"
Then restart and everything should work!
This assumes you have the package keyboard-configuration installed.
