+# Aim: connect two physical keyboards with different layouts to the computer at the same time,
+# for example a Catalan and an Arabic keyboard.
+# The user can type on both keyboards without having to switch layout in the OS UI.
+# The OS must use "English (US, intl, with dead keys)", with dead keys.
+#
+# The example here is:
+# "Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard" with identifier "05ac:0221" and layout "Catalan (Spain, with middle-dot L)" and
+# "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" with identifier "0001:0001" and layout "Arabic (Syria)".
+# My OS is Ubuntu 25.10.
+#
+# In Ubuntu 25.10, you must choose "English (US, intl, with dead keys)".
