English keyboard layout
Please can we have an English keyboard layout added. There are two American ones, but no British layout.

The thread title might have been better as "Add British English keyboard layout", but it is very frustrating that while the UK is probably in the top 5 countries w.r.t. Deck sales, nearly 6 months have elapsed without any way for UK users to type a "£" symbol on a Deck.

Meanwhile, Valve has been adding keyboard layouts for countries that haven't even had a single Deck shipped to them yet! It makes me wonder if Valve should create a keyboard layout editor application and have a gallery of crowd-sourced layouts that users vould download in a similar manner to the keyboards in the Points Shop,

Looks like US International might be what you're looking for. That has the GBP symbol (and a lot of other things) on it. Shift+AltGr+4

Hi Teapot, actually I am after an English keyboard layout, not an American one. I understand that there are other keyboard layouts that have the GBP symbol, such as the French AZERTY International and the UK dvorak keyboard layout, but what I'm after is the British English Keyboard layout.

Yes, you're correct, I am talking about the proper British English keyboard, not the American layout.
