Bug Description
For Polish keyboard, to standard QWERTY keyboard the new column with Polish letters was added.
It is not optimal because:
1. Adding additional key column, takes space, and for small devices (BQ E4.5) it is hard to use
2. For Polish language there are 9 diactric signs, (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) but only 3 is available as separate keys
3. In Poland most common used is "Polish Programmer" keyboard (it is also used on Android phone). The diactric sign are available with SHIFT modifier (Example: SHIFT+a = ą, SHIFT+c = ć etc.)
Proposal:
To improve UX of Polish keyboard, I would like propose to remove Polish keys and use "Polish Programmer" style (with SHIFT modifier). With that solution it will be much easier typying on Polish keyboard.

I must admin that solution for now is quite good. I'd love to use that additional keys, but not all of them are shown; I think that on MX4 it's doing its job.
