Actually, I should have been clearer … I want the terminal emulator to default to the Terminal layout but I don’t necessarily want any other applications to default to the Terminal layout. They can default to the system default layout.
Is it even possible to have a different layout depending on the application?
As other discussion has said, this is definitely what you want, not just per application but per context within an application.
Entering an email address? Hiding @ away and not having .com is a hindrance and want easy access to dot. Entering a SIM PIN? Only needs numbers (I think). Entering a URL? Want easy access to / and maybe : and dot. None of those needs up and down arrow. Email addresses and URLs could benefit from left and right arrow. Sitting in the shell? Want all four arrow keys and want easy access to characters like - | & ; ( ) as well as /. You get the idea.
Indeed. That’s why I suggested that a user would want something that is sane and straightforward.
Still it’s great that there is at least some means of changing the layout.
