Maybe you do, I don't -- and won't :)
So, when we install SuSE and YaST asks which language and which keyboard... there's always a moment of panic. A 'Canadian' keyboard includes the French accents but, in order to do so, misplaces half a dozen punctuation marks... but then puts all the French stuff in places that French-from-France people would never think to look. (Now, where DID I put that cedilla?)
Yes, and where did the "Canadian English" language option go? Is this a new thing since SuSE was bought up by that-company-in-Utah? But for the keyboard, it is just as easy to learn all the compose-key combinations you need, and fudge the COMPOSETABLE keyboard settings in Yast (change latin1.add to utf8). In KDE, the compose combination is LeftShift/RightCtrl (shift key first, or it doesn't seem to work), but that is the only oddity.
BTW, does not the-company-in-Redmond offer a Canadian English option?
Yes. It has a special key, for entering "eh?". ;-)
