Auto-Select Keyboard Layout on Gnome Login Screen

[Matthew Crews <mailinglists mattcrews com>]

Hi All,

Is there a way to configure the Gnome login screen to auto-select a preferred keyboard layout on a per-user 
basis?

Situation:

Using Gnome 3.26 on Ubuntu 17.10, I have three users, I shall call User_1, User_2, and User_3. User_1 uses a 
standard keyboard layout of the machine (US QWERTY), while User_2 and User_3 use different layouts (such as 
Dvorak or AZERTY).

Currently, the process to log in is to select the user, type in the password, and log in. User_1 only has to 
click on his name, type away, and log in. User_2 and User_3 on the other hand need to remember to change the 
keyboard layout on the login screen prior to logging in.

What I want to do is mimic similar behavior that exists on Windows or Chrome OS machines: When any given user 
clicks his name on the login screen, the keyboard layout is automagically switched to that user's preferred 
keyboard layout, and they can type away. If they choose to not log in, and instead a different user chooses 
to log in, it automagically switches to that user's keyboard layout instead.

Cheers.
