Created attachment 79173 [details] change diff I would like to request changing the order of the layouts for Scottish Gaelic (gd). Currently the top layout is IBM 166 which is neither known in the community nor practical. The layout of choice is en-GB Extended as it requires the least amount of instruction and otherwise does not differ from en-GB which is the most widely used layout in the Gaelic community currently. The impact should be low as there is a tiny number of users currently but we're currently conducting a major clean-up of the Ubuntu localization (incl. faulty locale data) and hope to grow usage but the current default layout is a real show stopper. I've done a diff - a simply change of the order of the existing layout order, so en-GB Extended is at the top. I don't expect any issues but I would welcome a quick look by an expert, I'm a highly experienced localizer but no great shakes at code.
What difference does it make??? It is all up to GUI tools to display layouts in proper order (for example, sorted by description or id). GUI tools should not depend on the order of layouts neither in symbols/* nor in rules/base.xml. If they do - it is an issue with GUI tools design. The default variant in symbols/gb is "basic", BTW
Hi sorry, I have no idea what that means you just said, I'm afraid I'm mostly a localizer, not a developer. The problem is that on first install, Ubuntu chooses the IBM 166 keyboard as a default which is not practical for this locale. At the same time, most people are not familiar enough with keyboard layouts to realize that and change that. So we need to make sure a different keyboard layout is chosen as the default during first install, without user input. If you're saying I have to set it somewhere else then I will do that (as long as I understand what I have to do) but I was told on the Ubuntu l10n mailing list that 1) the top layout is the default 2) that I have to change this on here.
The bug is in Ubuntu GUI.
