Use IP geolocation to make a better guess about the users geographical location. Then we could have a lookup-table indexed by (language,location) that would give a list of the most commonly found keyboards for that combination. E.g. "En(UK),AU" -> US (possibly plus others).
There is already a map selection where we choose country for the hour selection. It could be used for more things. As long as we can change the automaticaclly choosen defaults - me, I live in Spain, so I need the Spanish keyboard, but I want programs in English, so I use the US locale, with further adjustements later to get the coin set to Euros, decimal separator, etc.
Yep, not an uncommon example.
So, click on the country, and set timezone, keyboard, and language. Then allow the user to change any of them independently (which we can do now).
Better still (if we _are_ going to re-arrange this), use geolocation to make a decent guess first, then set timezone, keyboard, and language and (obviously) allow the user the change all three. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
