Could you confirm that keyboard switching works if you revert d904abe0768293b2322dbf355b6e41d94e769d78? To anyone reading this: could you please give it a try and report back? You can run the image in a VM from current master: ./pre-inst-env guix system vm gnu/system/install.scm or better yet, build the ISO, copy it to USB, and boot it on bare metal: ./pre-inst-env guix system image -t iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm Thanks, Ludo’.
