I mostly use the Same here. I'm an English-speaker working in Germany, and find it much more convenient to keep my keyboard in US international layout with AltGr dead keys, using the dead keys for entering Umlauts when necessary.

We have locale for describing language, punctuation marks, etc.; it should have no correlation with keyboard layout. -- Michel Alexandre Salim Fedora Project Contributor: http://fedoraproject.org/ Email: salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | GPG key ID: 78884778 Jabber: hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | IRC: hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
