Bug ID: 472444
Summary: force keyboard layout for nested kwin_wayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In our selenium tech we use a nested kwin_wayland and send keyboard events
through the fakeinput protocol. It'd be lovely if we could force the nested
kwin to always use a specific XKB Rules + Model + Layouts + Variants + Options
instead of using the ones from the config. Otherwise it's impossible for the
outside to generate reliable keycodes for the protocol because we don't know
what layout is being used nor which modifiers are set up.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. systemsettings kcm_keyboard
2. go to layouts tab
3. add german (austria) as first layout
4. add english (US) as second layout
5. kwin_wayland kwrite
OBSERVED RESULT
The nested kwin uses the austrian layout and there appears to be no way to
force it to use US.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to force keyboard layout somehow. ENV vars might be the most in line
with xkbcommon
