Public bug reported:
In System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts I can select keyboards
for "Netherlands", and then I can select a "Standard" keyboard. This so-
called "standard" keyboard layout is _very_ unrealistic for the
Netherlands. Yes, it's the "official" Dutch keyboad layout. No, you
can't buy a computer keyboard using this layout, I've never seen one in
my life. *All* computer keyboards in the Netherlands have the standard
U.S. English layout. The only times I've seen this archaic keyboard
layout was on old typewriters.
So here's my wishlist item: replace the "Standard" Dutch keyboard layout
by a U.S. English layout, but add dead keys (because we *do* need
those). Right now I can't seem to find another way to get this behaviour
(unless I can find another non-English language that has dead keys and
that *does* use the right keyboard layout) except getting you to add
this specific keyboard setup. (For comparison: in Windows, the usual way
to set up keyboards in the Netherlands is to use the US English keyboard
layout combined with the NL input language, which will give you dead
keys and the layout that matches what's printed on the keyboard keys.
:-) )
