Description

VS Code for the Web supports Keyboard Layout to manually define the keyboard layout used by VS Code.

It would be useful to provide the same functionality in the Linux desktop version, allowing users to configure or override the detected keyboard layout when it is incorrect.

For consistency with the web version, Linux should provide a way to create and configure `keyboardLayout.json`, ideally with the same **Configure Keyboard Layout** workflow.

```json
{
"keyboard.layout": "es"
}
```
