Hi Leonardo.

I hope that i will provide some useful answers.

** How does your keyboard layout works in your language?*
Keyboard has Slovenian version of QUERTZ layout (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ#/media/File:KB_Slovene.svg)
Major difference from English keyboard is swapped Y and Z letters. It also
have extra keys on right side specific to Slovenian language (Č, Š and Ž).
There are also Đ and Ć keys which are not Slovenian letters, but are used
in Croatia, Serbia and other near countries, i believe. We also do not have
W, Q, Y and X letters but they are useful for me anyway, others probably
also use Đ and Ć sometimes.

** How do you use/type by using your language's keyboard layout?*
Not sure exactly how to response. Maybe i answered it in previous answer?

** Do you have problems with your keyboard layout in elementary OS?*
Haven't found any issues using my keyboard that should be concern for
elementary OS developers. I remember only having issues with 3rd party apps
like Atom text editor.

** Does your language's keyboard layout have specific options for
configuration?*
Not that i know of. Maybe i am just not sure what kind of configuration
exactly.

** How can we improve your experience with your language's keyboard layout?*
I think that experience is good. I do not remember any issue that i had
with eOS. Keyboard works as it does on Ubuntu and Windows.
But.. i do remember when i tried auto-detect keyboard layout feature while
installing elementary OS, keyboard was always detected as Croatian. I do
not know if you can fix that since we do share same layout in many (former
Yugoslavia?) counties. At least i think we do.

I hope that i understood your questions correctly. Else feel free to reply.

Regards, Marko Dolar
