Description Emir SARI 2023-12-17 16:27:26 UTC 
Whilst installing Krypton, in the installer, there is no Turkish F layout, which also a common layout in Turkey, and used alongside the Q layout. Please add it as another option in the drop-down list.

You mean the KEYBOARD layout, right? You didn't mention that important detail even once.
Comment 2 Emir SARI 2023-12-17 16:58:14 UTC 
Yes, keyboard layout, my bad.

"As of 2022, the majority of Turkish keyboards are based on QWERTY (the so-called Q-keyboard layout), although there is also the older F-keyboard layout specifically designed for the language."

A caveat is that we can only add this to YaST if there is support for it in the underlying tools.

I saw that the old "kbd-legacy" package appears to have support for it, but this is being phased out in favor of the newer "kbd" package.

On my Leap 15.5:

% rpm -ql kbd-legacy | grep '/tr'

/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/fgGIod/tr_f-latin5.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/fgGIod/trf.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/tr_q-latin5.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/tralt.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/trf.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/trq.map.gz


% rpm -ql kbd | grep '/tr'

/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-alt.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-crh.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-crh_alt.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-crh_f.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-f.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-intl.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-ku.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-ku_alt.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-ku_f.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr-sundeadkeys.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/xkb/tr.map.gz


I hope that 'tr-f.map.gz' is the right one.
