"Keyboard Layout" menu has no US International layout #265

To see what a normal key does, one would select the same keyboard layout from the menu "Keyboard Layout" in the window menu bar in Vial as is selected in the OS. Is this correct? On the Win11 app (v0.7.1) and the browser app I feel there are a lot of entries not visible. The list ends with "S". I could not find an entry for the US International layout.

After browsing the sources, I see now other layouts are not implemented. Bare with me a day or two, I might have a script then to convert windows layouts (like this) that can be found here to those keymap python files used in this project to define the layouts.

I made a script to import windows keyboard layouts to vial python files. You can find it in this gist. I tested it only with the xml linked above for the US International layout, the result is also in the gist.
