I understand your opinion, and surely you have way more experience than me on this matter. Still, it seems that there should be a better way. Why aren't keyboards able to communicate a default layout? I've been reading about the current one and it's true it's complex and full of legacy decisions, so why isn't there a "better scancodes" protocol? It's true, using a keyboard layout different from the one printed on the keyboard is unheard of in much parts of the world, but on others it's almost a necessity. Continuously installing operating systems and manually configuring keyboard layouts is uncommon, too, and it's mostly solved by automatic layout recognition, aka "write the words you see".
