Why is AltGr + "," not used for dead_cedilla ? It seems more intuitive?
I don't know. It's all in the file /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/latin.
The "basic" variant has this definition for comma key:
key <AB08> { [ comma, less, horizconnector, multiply ] };
while "type2" used throughout Northern Europe in the same file has (I guess that's what you mentioned):
key <AB08> { [ comma, semicolon, dead_cedilla, dead_ogonek ] };
Again, I don't know who is the author of basic latin layout that's used in en_US, nor the reasoning behind it (actually, I don't even have any idea what "horizconnector" is).
One good thing about X is that you may have different keyboards, also for en_US. So if there is enough interest we can make alternate keyboards available for en_US.
Yes, AFAIK it's only the matter of adding to en_US file eg.
partial default alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "north" { include "pc/latin(type2)"
name[Group1]="en_US"; key <RALT> { type[Group1]="TWO_LEVEL",
[ ISO_Level3_Shift, Multi_key ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { <RALT> };};
Then, it can be called with "setxkbmap -layout en_US -variant north", or something along those lines.
Also, there's no explicit relation between locales and keyboard maps.
