Trinity Control Center -> Regional & accessibility -> Keyboard Layout There, tick the "Enable Keyboard Layouts" and add your perfered keyboard to the list. I use the swiss keyboard with swiss french layout, that does everything you want based on a QWERTZ layout, there is an italian keyboard too, and many others. And you can have more than one keyboard layout and switch from kicker. I hope this helps.
