Glad to hear that :).

No that's a legitimate bug report! Could you please send a mail to
bug-guix@gnu.org about that one, so that it is easier for us to track
it?

That's strange, letter based selection is supposed to be active from the
start, I'll check why.

It has been reported here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38161. We should
definitely add it.

We are following the structure dictated by the xkeyboard-layout package,
I don't remember exactly how the Debian installer deals with it, but
I'll check it.
Thanks for your help,
