This change is totally incompatible with the existing one. Could you please explain why? Was the existing one wrong? How happened?

Sergey, This "improvement" should be an alternate keyboard. It is different and seems to have combining diacritics instead of just precomposed characters. The current ng "Yoruba" keyboard only has precomposed vowels (e and o with dot below) or consonant (s with dot) and doesn't allow for typing accents for tones (e and o with dot below with additional acute, etc., or plain vowels with tonal accent).

So this alternate keyboard would be useful.

could you propose different name for that layout, since "yoruba" is already taken? And the description would be nice to have too.

How is that bug related to #39682 ?
