key <AD09>	{ [         o,          O,     oacute,       Oacute   ]	};
key <AD06>	{ [         y,          Y,     yacute,       Yacute   ]	};
key <AD07>	{ [         u,          U,     uacute,	     Uacute    ]	};
key <AC07>	{ [         j,          J,     uring,	     Uring    ]	};

key <AC02>	{ [         s,          S,     scaron,       Scaron   ]	};

key <AB06>	{ [         n,          N,     ncaron,	     Ncaron   ]	};

key <SPCE>  { [     space,       space, nobreakspace, nobreakspace] };

include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

If using Gnome:

2 - name layout: custom

3 - under Gnome settings app choose A user-defined custom Layout

Else:

2 - edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev

under ! option = symbols add: czus:czhack = +czus(czhack)

3 - edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml

under <layoutList> add:

<layout>
  <configItem>
    <name>czus</name>
    <shortDescription>Kuxa's czus</shortDescription>
    <description>czus</description>
    <languageList>
      <iso639Id>cze</iso639Id>
    </languageList>
  </configItem>
  <variantList>
    <variant>
      <configItem>
        <name>czus</name>
        <description>CZUS base</description>
      </configItem>
    </variant>
  </variantList>
</layout>
