For which question do you need something else than just arrow keys and
enter?  I even tried to select icelandic in expert mode, and didn't need
to type anything before I got to the layout question.

We believe it is already soon enough: after language/country selection
so as to pre-select a good default, and before everything else. If it's
not for some reason, please be more specific as to where you encountered
an actual issue.
