I would certainly not object to base the keyboard layout detection on your 
code, but there are still still a few problems to sort out:

 * only the Mac backend is able to report the current keyboard layout, all
  other backends just return a null string.
 * it would be necessary that the reported keyboard layout names are
  consistent over all systems

Right I've have only a Linux development setup, I could also create one under 
Windows, but I definitely don't have access to a Mac, so I would need some 
help to integrate this feature.

Best regards,
