As a Dvorak user, it is inconvenient to use the standard QWERTY layout while installing AOSC OS with deploykit-gui. Currently, there appears to be no option to change the keyboard layout during the installation process, which can lead to input errors and a frustrating experience for users who rely on alternative layouts.
Many modern installers (e.g., Calamares, Ubiquity) provide keyboard layout selection early in the setup process. Adding this feature would bring deploykit-gui in line with usability standards.
Proposed Solution:
Add a keyboard layout selection option in the deploykit-gui installer. This could be implemented:
- As a dropdown menu or list during the initial setup stages.
- With a live preview or test field to verify the layout before proceeding.
- With support for commonly used layouts such as Dvorak, Colemak, AZERTY, etc.
Benefits:
- Improves accessibility and usability for non-QWERTY users.
- Reduces risk of incorrect input (e.g., passwords, hostnames).
