[Bug 552425] Re: missing backslash-underscore key in Japanese layout

[Mitsuya Shibata]

Thank you for your reply.
I think "for compact" is reasonable reason.

However there is original reported problem that onboard layout cannot
input jp keys.

Missing keys are:
- AE13: keycode = 132, key = [yen, bar]
- AB11: keycode = 97, key = [backslash, underscore]

Preferred layout is (like attatched image):
- AE13 is left of BKSP
- AB11 is left of RTSH

Possible solutions: Make new layouts for Japanese.
- It is simple.
- User needs to change layout manually (can handle in language-selector?).
- Increase layout files (Compact for Jp, FUll Keyboard for Jp, Grid for Jp, and other countries...)
- Most part is redundant, increase package size (is there any way to share common part?).
