Heya, just wanted to give my personal thanks for working on this. :-) As a user of an unusual keyboard layout (Colemak), this is one of my main pet annoyances with Guix. And by the way, an unpleasent off-topic issue: After getting curious and visiting the homepage of your email domain 'cock.li' I was at first amused to see Chen from Touhou, but then pretty sad to see a frivolous use of racist and sexist slurs and what I guess is supposed to be "humorously meant hate speech" (thinking of the domain name "nuke.africa" for instance). I understand that this is probably supposed to be a kind of childish black humor (I spent a lot of time on 4chan back in my time) but let's not forget that we're not, in fact, children anymore, and that stuff like this can be quite seriously upsetting to some people. Imagine that we have, say, a middle-aged African computer scientist in our community, who isn't familiar with such "humor", or a young female college student with a background in a conservative family with rigid gender roles, and consider how they might feel after seeing domain names like "getbackinthe.kitchen", "nigge.rs", and the like. I'd urge you to use another address for correspondence with an open community like this one, given that anyone could get curious like me and visit the homepage of your domain. - Taylan
