Perhaps. I do not know. Noone contributed that option so far.

Well, if you google multiple complains on forums/maillist/distro bugzillas - that would be quite strong argument.

I am not saying it is only your problem. I am saying that the problem is not significant enough (considering the frequency of complains) to break the existing behavior (that have priority because it is there already). I hope you understand that I need some serious reasons to break the way things worked for years (and there is no "right" way - it is a matter of taste). I am not saying that your request does not make sense - I am just asking for some evidence. Convince me. Not by your words, but showing that there are other people who are unhappy with the current situation.

Yes, exactly that. Because the person who contributed it wanted it that way - to be sure that he gets the layout he wants, not just "next layout". I do not have issues with that.

> why he think that. So your point of view looks the same.)
Quite possible. But that's the best idea I can come up with. Otherwise I'd have to trust every request for changes, which I am not going to do for obvious reasons. If you have better idea - please tell me, I would be quite interested.

If you find people interested in new xkb option - we can continue this discussion.
