Hi Peter,

Shawns way to setup the keyboard is probably the best, but to answer the 
redirects part:

It doesnt work because redirects are a shell feature and systemd starts 
programs without the help of a shell. So this line

ExecStart=/bin/echo 2 > /tmp/test.txt

would need to be transformed into

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'echo 2 > /tmp/test.txt'

untested, but should work.
