could cryptsetup be "insensitive" to the configured keyboard layout and adopt/toggle the US/ASCII layout ?
as the physical keys on the keyboard do not move ;-), the end user would enter the password he wants and cryptsetup would only receive ASCII characters...
The CLI tool cannot do that, as it only receives text and not actual keypresses.
So while this would be possible in the initramfs unlocker (just delay loadkeys until after unlocking), it wouldn't be possible when creating volumes or changing passphrases via Xterm or SSH.
X11 programs *might* be able to do that, but I have a feeling it'd be a bit kludgy and unreliable... And either way, it would mean a passphrase entered via X11 couldn't be used via CLI and vice versa.
