Uh oh!

Omarchy's whole design is that you pick a setting from the shell, it applies
immediately, and the config files underneath get written for you. Monitors,
network, DNS, power profiles, audio, themes — all of it works that way.
Keyboard layout is the exception. It's the one setting where you're sent to open
input.luaand type the right XKB string by hand — and you have to already knowit's
gb, notuk, not "British".Could it work like everything else? Pick GB, or French, or German, from a list;
the file gets written for you.
Two reasons it matters more than most settings:
because half the symbols on their keyboard are in the wrong place while
they're trying to fix it.
locked out at first login with no idea why.
The existing bar widget doesn't cover it — it only appears once more than one
layout is configured, so someone sitting on a single wrong layout never sees it.
