The problem is: how should things be called? kbd-chooser used to just throw one list at the user. It used to not be so big, but that's not a scalable solution, as there _are_ a lot of different keyboards. Maybe we can clean some variants out (like all the dvorak variants which double the number of variants), but that still leaves a long list. Here, "Origin" means where you bought the keyboard, it is a quite clear question, provided that there is a US variant listed in the different layouts for countries which usually sell it. Another way I had thought about would be to first show a list of all the keyboards known to be used by the combination of country/language given at the localechooser stage, for instance en_CA would just propose the american layout while the fr_CA would just propose the canadian layout. And a choice like "not in this list", which brings to a second list with all the keyboards known to be used in the country (i.e. the "Origin" question is not asked, it just defaults to the localechooser country). Again a "not in this list" choice would bring to a third list with a list of layouts for all countries, but with a lot of variants removed (e.g. legacy, dvorak). Eventually, a "not in this list" would bring to a fourth list with really all the variants. > 5) Dutch people very much *do* still type accented characters. ERrr, really? That's not what dutch people I've talked with told me. Anyway, that's not the question at stake.
