Real French Canadian Keyboard mapping by default

[berbo]

Presently, with LinuxMint, it is possible to modify the layout of the keyboard. With the country CANADA the possibilities are:
* Dvorak français
* Français (obsolète)
* Inuktitut
* Multilingue
* Multilingue, partie 1
* Multilingue, partie 2

The most popular layout (Canadien Français or CF) used by French Canadian people is not present. It will be a nice feature to add it and, best of all, to detect it or the propose it by default for French Canadian people at the installation of Linux Mint.

The mapping is good for PC 105 keys, wide Delete, tall Enter (XFree86; CF) keyboards.

The name of the mapping is: "Canadien Français"

The most popular layout (Canadien Français or CF) used by French Canadian people is not present.

Hi. I'm note 100% sure (I'm using a Japanese keyboard), but maybe there's a simple way to select the good Canadian keyboard layout. You go to Keyboard Preferences - Layout, and you select ONLY Canada. I mean that after you selected Canada you just click on OK, ignoring the layout options. It seems to correspond to the real French Canadian keyboard. At least it worked on my PC...
