Ahoy Sailors !
Since Sailfish OS 1.0.7.16, I can use my Bluetooth keybord "perixx periboard 805" but it's an AZERTY kb. When I use it, Sailfish take it as QWERTY KB. Is there a solution to change this to AZERTY ?
Thank you :)

The "Known Issues" in the 1.0.7.16 Saapunki release notes (http://www.jollatides.com/2014/06/11/sailfish-june-update-1-0-7-16-saapunki/) have this to say:
> Unable to change the layout of the bluetooth enabled hardware keyboard (default is US layout) >
So I suppose you're stuck with your problem until one of the next releases.

In theory it would be with
but it does not seem to work.
Release notes for 10.7.16 does mention that other layouts than US do not work. I suppose we have to wait. :(

https://together.jolla.com/question/46107/is-there-a-config-file-to-change-bt-keyboard-layout/
It involves some tinkering on the command line as root, so it's not for everybody, but if you're comfortable with it, it may be a solution.
