Description of problem: Anaconda lists a *lot* of keyboard layouts: eg try searching for US. :) I think it would be better to do a UI more like gnome-initial-setup which shows the most common keyboard layouts first like: US, JP, RU, DE, FR, GB, ES, IT, BR, etc. There could also be a "Show more layouts" checkbox to list more obscure layouts, but at least listing the major common ones first would improve the UX of international keyboard users. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run anaconda in Japan/ese with US keyboard 2. Try to find US keyboard layout (using JP layout). Actual results: Quite hard to find US or other layouts. Expected results: Easy enough to find US layout.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Is this issue fixed? If not lets move to Fedora 23
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Re-opening I still think this is quite relevant for improving the installer UX for global users.
How do you suggest we determine what keyboard layouts are the most common?

I think we can come up with an initial list and have it reviewed by Fedora developers and community. I feel the current UX is suboptimal. At the very least US layout to be listed very visibly to most users, since it is the most common and important globally.

I still feel this is pretty low-hanging fruit and would be a good UX improvement - maybe i18n could help.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
I still feel this is a good RFE and would improve the installer UX for non-US users.
Please refer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1039185#c43 Started a thread for broader discussion: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/XV7VWD64HIB5N7GIZ53DBJCYKYDDHSWQ/ PR w.r.t Step2: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2788 Vendula, Jiri how do you feel about the approach?
Step 2 looks good to me. Thank you for working on this!
This is really a good feature. Thanks Sundeep for looking into it. I hope, this will be available from next release :)
Reached Rawhide before the F34 branching, so both F34 & F35 should have the fix. :)
