My use case is that I want to allow people to fork and/or branch from the [test repo used for openqa.debian.net](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/openqa/openqa-tests-debian/), where the needles are to be found in `products/debian/needles`...

That test seems to rely on the behaviour in question. Looking at the line [where it types stuff](https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/tests/installation/language_keyboard/switch_keyboard_layout.pm#L15), it actually types `azerty` on a French keyboard in order to see...

@Martchus I think that's probably right. I suspect that setting KVMKB does most of what I want. If you ran that azerty/qwerty test with KVMKB=fr-fr (or whatever the default french...

Oops, sorry. What I actually meant to say was `VNCKB` (I have a slight tendency to mix up TLAs, I'm afraid ... I should have checked) BTW That's `VNCKB` as...

Additionally, Fedora has `console_loadkeys_us()` in lib/utils.pm in their tests which runs `loadkeys us` in a terminal in order that the subsequent scripting need not worry about this problem (as long...

[sorry for leaving this fallow for a while ... I'd not forgotten about it, just been busy.] It seems to me that I need to add a function that allows...

OK, so I _have_ come across mappings in various places that seem like what's available there, but I discounted them because, for example, if one looks at the `apostrophe` in...

Sorry about the long pause getting back to this. I just tried a test where a UK keyboard was selected when installing the SUT, and VNCKB is not set. I...

BTW one aspect of this that bites when one is using a UK mapping on the SUT is that `upload_logs()` breaks, because it builds a command to run starting from:...

Thanks for that. However, I think being put in a position where I felt like I ought to put some more effort into this, and come up with something constructive...
