Keyboard layout definitions are hell to maintain. There are too many locales, and most of them are not finished yet unicode side (aside from the continuous monetary symbol churn, even "big" "simple" latin languages like German had changes in the recent years). Therefore, the only sustainable solution would be to centralise layout definitions in a single authoritative database. This has been done X-side with xkeyboard-config, but the console needs to be taught to use those definitions too. Unfortunately, Fedora still uses a separate layout database for the console (IIRC Debian/Ubuntu translate xkeyboard-config layout definitions to console layout definitions, which is worse than reading xkeyboard-config directly but loads better than what Fedora does). This causes all sorts of problems, requiring a table of console/x layout correspondances, which is perpetually out-of-sync and incomplete (not all xkeyboard-config definitions have a console correspondance). -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
