Hello,

I am running Tumbleweed+Gnome+x11 on a Lenovo x1carbon Gen8 with a US Intl keyboard (including AltGr and € keys on the number row), and I'm confused about how my system keyboard settings are persisted across reboots. In short, my machine uses "US International" as it's system keyboard, but the behavior reverts to something else(?) that Yast thinks is US International but behaves differently from what my intended behavior is.

I often use accents in Dutch (é, ú, ü), which I prefer to type by using an apostrophe followed by the letter ('+e => é). This is possible when using "US International" as my system keyboard; however, for some reason this setting is not respected between reboots. After I reboot, my machine reverts to a "simpler" keyboard setting where '+e => 'e instead of é, even though Yast still reports that my system keyboard is set to "us-intl".

> $ sudo yast keyboard summary

> Current Keyboard Layout: us-int

The only way I've found to reset my preference is through the Yast Keyboard GUI and re-selecting "US International" after logging on. This raises some questions:

1. Why doesn't my keyboard preference persist across reboots?

2. What "intermediate" keyboard setting is my machine reverting to between me re-selecting US International?

3. What is the difference between the System Keyboard Setting using Yast, and the drop-down available in Gnome (see screenshot linked below)?

best,

Chris
