This is pretty common problem, because most localized keyboard layouts
have all those fancy english characters like #, @, &, \, which are
necessary for any CLI job, accessible only through finger-breaking
keyboard shortcuts with AltGr. As far as I know, most administrators in
need of such characters simply switch to us layout by simple "setxkbmap
us", but that's not a good solution. It would be nice to have "us"
layout set up as secondary one just after install, like it is in Windows
systems... I use hal for configuration of this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">cz,us</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions"
type="string">grp:shift_toggle,grp:switch,lv3:ralt_switch</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

Make sure US keyboard layout is always available as an alternative?
