Hello,

The installer gained support for keyboard layout switching from every
step recently[1].

It is also possible with commit 2729cb406d9f3e9eb22cc660f887138134edb3a8
to specify comma-separated keyboard layouts, this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(keyboard-layout "ar,us" #:options '("grp:alt_shift_toggle"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now it would be nice to support multiple keyboard layout selection from
the installer, so that a configuration like to one above is generated.

Thanks,

Mathieu

I added some more heuristics on whether a layout is Latin or not and
after much testing pushed as 91c231a2223440081426929828a23c7baa0214fd.
There are still few false positives like non-Kana Japanese layouts
that are Latin but toggle to U.S.  They can be fixed later.

More importantly with 7bc71025ccd0fabd739803889825e10341fbabdf I also
fixed a layout’s empty variant "" not being a choice in the installer.
The "" variant is the only variant of the Azerbaijani layout providing
the Latin script Azerbaijan uses since a few decades, so it is
important.  I hope the code is alright; maybe I should not have just
pushed, but I believe it is alright.

Marking as done.

Regards,
Florian
