Daniel Dinnyes <address@hidden> skribis:The Dvorak layout is there, but maybe not where you expect: you have to first select, say, the “English (US)” layout, which brings you to a second page where you can choose a variant, one of which is DvorakI found that in the graphical install mode, whilebeing asked for keyboard layout, there was no option for Dvorak layout.(screenshot below.)
Not bein' snarky here: where else would you expect it to be? I've never seen the DSK categorised as anything but ‘US (Dvorak)’. The layout itself is pretty anglocentric, and even (I mean: of course) the UK Dvorak subtly differs from the US one.
I assume this isn't the first time you've installed a GNU/Linux distribution, so I'm curious where you found it on others. Do they flat-out alias ‘Dvorak’ to the US variant? Not convinced we should emulate that.
Side note: the Debian (or was it Ubuntu?) installer has a great feature to help you figure out your keyboard layout in the minimum number of keystrokes. I wonder if we could use that decision tree data in our own installer. IME most people have no idea what the name of their keyboard layout is; it's always ‘er, the regular one?’ to them.
Imma check it out, T G-R
