The current one is IMO just fine. The language of the interface selected does not influence the locale selected, so I would usually select the defaults, because the desired language needs to be installed. > But the problem is that I am not sure what that default should be.

If it is the same why would you need all of this in Personalizer? It would be handy to have this option in the configuration window on the keyboard layout, because as explained I have to modify the default (now Alt+Shift+k) BR ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
