I didn't mean to put the words "System" and "User" in there somewhere. I just
wanted one list with the names of the system provided keymaps. There is no item
"Current" or "User", but one of the keymaps is simply highlighted. If the user
saved a custom keymap, then there would be a separator line at the bottom of
the list and his personal keymap there with name that he gave to it. It
probably has a default name of "Custom" or even "User" perhaps when the user is
asked to save it or it is saved automatically when he changes the current
keymap. Best would be if it would be "German - Modified" by default for example
if the user first selected German and then changed some keys. Best not to even
ask to save it but just do it.
Best regards,
