I'm trying to figure out how the Chromium Browser sets up the default onscreen keyboard layout / locale on Debian (and general Linux OS as well).



Does Chromium Browser sniff the OS settings and/or ask it for locale information? Or does Chromium Browser ask the user for their preference?



I haven't found any helpful documentation specific to Chromium Browser, only some for Chromium OS. Are they similar in their implementation?

  • What gives you the impression that the browser knows (or cares) what the keyboard layout is? (I’m trying to understand what led to your question.)
