Hi,

Firstly I'd like to say that Calamares is the best graphical installer I've used on any system so thank you to everyone who's worked on it.

I have, however, found what I consider to be a bug. When booting into the live media, I selected the UK english keyboard (en-gb). I also selected this for my keyboard layout during the install.

When installing, I selected to wipe the disk and install manjaro, I selected the encrypt checkbox and entered my password - using the UK keyboard. However, when booting into the system, the keyboard layout was a US keyboard when entering the decryption password. This makes inputting some keys difficult / impossible.

Personally, I think whatever the user chooses when installing the system should be set as the grub keylayout as well as the system's. Here are a few references that might be useful.
