Hi Egbert. I uploaded two attachments. The first is the "French Québec Standard", and the second one is an image of a typical desktop keyboard.
99% of tablets, laptops and desktops use the above indicated keyboard layout.
Yes, I've seen them. The layout coincides with the standard layout when you just select 'ca' (which should be done) or ca(fr). The other one is ca(fr-legacy). This is what the installer picks at the moment (wrong).
There is a second keyboard, titled Canada multilingual, which even the Federal government does not use. It may be used by the indigenous (Indian and Eskimo) peoples.
For this there is a separate mapping which you will get when selecting ca(multi).
I have been bugging the Canadian and Provincial Government (Canada / Quebec) to include the Eurokey at level three on the Ee€ keytop, and the yen with Yy¥ on the Y keytop.
You can already get the Euro sign when you add 'eurosign:e' asan option. The YaST selection does not allow this, however most desktops allow you to augment your keyboard setting.There is no such option for Yen, unfortunately.
It is difficult to reach the right person as many in the government don't know what to do or how to proceed.
A lot of this is prbably driven (or not driven) by ms. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
