Hi!

Currently in my setup I use a laptop and an external keyboard. The laptop is a Macbook Pro with a PT layout and a GB layout external keyboard.

The problem is the model is different and also the number of keys and some key positions, so every time I need to change the keyboard layout I also need to change the model.

So the ideal situation would be to set the model and layout (or layouts) used based on keyboard model. I imagine that every time we connect a new keyboard we would configure both the model and available layouts (when you want to use different layouts on the same keyboard.)

Would this make sense to anyone else?

Reproducible: Always
