Public bug reported:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet includes the key mapping tweaks required
by Chromebook keyboards. I can confirm that they are correct by
appending them to the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc file and restarting.
But I can find no way to choose "Chromebook" as my keyboard type or
layout. I looked through all of the options provided by `sudo dpkg-
reconfigure keyboard-configuration` and the Text Entry System Settings.
Ubuntu 16.04 has come a very long way in supporting Chromebooks out of
box, and Ubuntu is even easy to install on these machines. There are
just a couple details like this and it'll be a seamless out-of-box
experience!
