Keep the current keyboard layout in the configuration file?

The current keyboard layout in the configuration file /etc/default/keyboard is defined as XKBLAYOUT="${XKBLAYOUT}" and XKBVARIANT="${XKBVARIANT}".

Please choose whether you want to keep it. If you choose this option, no questions about the keyboard layout will be asked and the current configuration will be preserved.

Keep default keyboard layout (${XKBLAYOUTVARIANT})?

The default value for the keyboard layout is XKBLAYOUT="${XKBLAYOUT}" and XKBVARIANT="${XKBVARIANT}". This default value is based on the currently defined language/region and the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Right Alt (AltGr)

No temporary switch

Both Logo keys

Method for temporarily toggling between national and Latin input:

When the keyboard is in national mode and one wants to type only a few Latin letters, it might be more appropriate to switch temporarily to Latin mode. The keyboard remains in that mode as long as the chosen key is kept pressed. That key may also be used to input national letters when the keyboard is in Latin mode.

You can disable this feature by choosing "No temporary switch".

No AltGr key

Keypad Enter key

Key to function as AltGr:

With some keyboard layouts, AltGr is a modifier key used to input some characters, primarily ones that are unusual for the language of the keyboard layout, such as foreign currency symbols and accented letters. These are often printed as an extra symbol on keys.

No compose key

The Compose key (known also as Multi_key) causes the computer to interpret the next few keystrokes as a combination in order to produce a character not found on the keyboard.

On the text console the Compose key does not work in Unicode mode. If not in Unicode mode, regardless of what you choose here, you can always also use the Control+period combination as a Compose key.

Use Control+Alt+Backspace to terminate the X server?

By default the combination Control+Alt+Backspace does nothing. If you want it can be used to terminate the X server.
