Ok, then I'll see that it gets into the ibook HOWTO-pages, because
right now the default keyboard is simply *broken* (you can access only
the "ordinary" letters, no [, no { no @). And it looks like every
non-US apple user has to pull his/her own keyboard layout.
The major thing to be decided is weather the ibook/powerbook keyboard
should match the OSX-layout or the PC layout. Since almost no extra
mappings (like [, {) are printed on the keyboard, this is mostly a
political question (a choice preferred, thought).
If you need me to test new keyboard layouts when it is time, please
contact me (but I only have a german ibook).
Thanks for taking care
Helge
