Description-en: X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configuration data
This package contains configuration data used by the X Keyboard
Extension (XKB), which allows selection of keyboard layouts when
using a graphical interface.
.
Every X11 vendor provides its own XKB data files, so keyboard layout
designers have to send their layouts to several places. The
xkeyboard-config project has been launched at FreeDesktop in order
to provide a central repository that could be used by all vendors.
