Bug ID: 432818
Summary: Use libxkbregistry to parse the rules files
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This is a library that will parse xkb rules files and is aware of user-supplied
rules in ~/.config/xkb/rules. It's relatively new (see
https://who-t.blogspot.com/2020/07/user-specific-xkb-configuration-part-2.html
and the keyboard KCM doesn't use it yet. As a result, user-created XKB rules in
~/.config/xkb are ignored, and changed need to be made to the distro-provided
files, which is generally a no-no.
GNOME got support for this last year:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/-/merge_requests/79
This is probably a necessity before we can offer a proper GUI for key
re-mapping, since such a thing would optimally implement the map as an
auto-generated xkb option added to the user's home folder.
