would it be useful to have xkb support in xcffib? based on one of the other PRs I looked at adding it recently and I don't think it would be super hard. |
|
Yes, would make sense if it's easy to do. |
|
I haven't tested it yet but this looks fine to me, any keymap file I can test with? |
libqtile/backend/wayland/inputs.py

If we could use this in x11 then, yes, makes sense.

Slight change, I tested by dumping my keymap and then editing it to swap a couple of keys round. Loading the keymap gave the expected behaviour. |
ok, I spent some time messing around with it today and couldn't get my haskell-fu right, but I'll work on it. |

This PR is stale because it has been open 90 days with no activity. Remove the |
Draft for now. This is based on a request on Discord.
Would welcome @jwijenbergh thoughts on this.
I think we also need to update the keyboard layout widget for this.
