Assume your Home Assistant keeps crashing and your last resort is the system console.
You plug a keyboard and display to your Raspberry/Odroid/whatever, only to notice that your keyboard produces garbage.
When using a german keyboard instead the expected QWERTY, most of the letters will be in the expected places, but almost everything else won’t.
Now imagine having a french or (god forbid) a Dvorak keyboard.
Your panic just jumps to another level.
Sad reality for a lot of people out there.
The console supports US keyboard layout by default, with no way to change it.
When I was in this situation, I decided that buying a US keyboard for the purpose of using it for an average of 32 seconds per year didn’t make much sense.
So I ended up making a cheat sheet to translate the needed characters to my keyboard layout.
It kinda did the trick, but … yikes! Right?
I know. In a perfect world, nobody would ever need to use the console.
But if they do, they wouldn’t want the extra amount of trouble caused by the lack of keyboard support.
