We already had ua.kbd and pl.kbd and I just now brought over the ??.iso.kbd files before catching up on this thread.

I think we can just bring them over as ??.acc.kbd once we've verified they work as expected. > - Do we keep all those variants that only differe in the handling > of the Caps-Lock key (which often is mapped to an additional > Control key)? I don't see why not. Oh, one other point: I'll add a stripped-down share/vt/INDEX.keymaps shortly, and we can add new entries there as we bring the keymaps over. We'll also need UTF-8 encoded translations of the names. -Ed
