Having Ubuntu autodetect the "Finnish" layout when using a Swedish keyboard may be good if you consider the Finnish origin of Linux.
On the other hand, Linus Torvalds himself is speaking Swedish as his mother tounge and there are twice as many people speaking Swedish as those who speak Finnish. Hence it is most likely that the user who wants his Swedish/Finnish keyboard autodetected also is speaking Swedish rather than Finnish. >From a technical perspective it would not only make sense but also make life easier if we merged the two layouts into one and explained the reason for the end user whenever the keyboard layout issue is configured or displayed. -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://launchpad.net/bugs/35611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
