Yep. Which is the same for many other users - the language selection is often only a rough indication of the kind of keyboard a user might have. When I choose Language = German, there is no way for for YaST to know that I have a Swiss-German keyboard.
One possible way for YaST to make a better guess would be to use IP geolocation, maybe via a central service.
Eeeek! No.. not geolocation :-( That "technology" is the bane of my existence. It can never get it right for me as an English speaker living in Germany.
That's not a problem caused by geolocation though. That's more likely caused by poor use of the information.
I already have to special-order my keyboards from the Netherlands so I can get US English layout... adding geolocation will drive expats like me off the deep end (if we aren't there already :-) )
If we use the information appropriately, it could help make a more accurate guess. 95% of people do not leave their own countries to live anywhere else - the ones who do (e.g. you and I) are the exception. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
