Bug ID: 1116676 Summary: filter keyboard layouts by geometry Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: langtable Severity: low Assignee: mfabian@redhat.com Reporter: petersen@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, mfabian@redhat.com

Description of problem: This may be a crazy idea I am not sure yet (which came up during Fedora i18n discussions around https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/26 but in principle it seems it would be useful to filter keyboard layouts by their compatibility with a chosen keyboard geometry.

There are various difficulties here:

- parsing of the xkb data files itself will be complex - assuming it is possible to get this filtering to work applications like anaconda will need some subtle or larger changes to support setting of keyboard geometry separately from keyboard layouts.

Still it seems like a worthy goal to try to reduce or structure the current large amount of clutter currently when making keyboard config selections.
