Pierre Le Marre da5caabb 2025-06-16T15:45:42 Add RMLVO builder API Before this commit, the API to work with RMLVO was quite minimal: it only uses raw strings from the `xkb_rule_names` struct. However: - it forces the users to deal with error-prone string formatting; - it does not enforce tying together layouts and variants; - it limits adding new features by requiring defining delimiter characters and the corresponding parsing. Added the following API: - `xkb_rmlvo_builder_new()` - `xkb_rmlvo_builder_append_layout()` - `xkb_rmlvo_builder_append_option()` - `xkb_rmlvo_builder_unref()` There is no intermediate `layout` nor `option` object, in order to to keep the API simple. The only foreseen extension is enabling configuring layout-specific options.

Pierre Le Marre 0f89ad97 2025-06-09T19:26:13 dump: Always use numeric group indexes The upcoming raise of the maximum groups count will require to use numeric group indexes instead of the syntax `GroupN` if groups > 8. Let’s not bother with handling two cases (group count ≤ 8 or > 8) and always serialize group indexes as numeric values.
Pierre Le Marre 44c8deb2 2025-05-07T10:20:25 Introduce keymap format v2 and make it the default for parsing - Added `XKB_KEYMAP_FORMAT_TEXT_V2`. - Made `xkb_keymap_new_from_names()` use the new keymap format. - Made the tools default to the new keymap format for input. This is in preparation for changes in the parsing & state handling. For now it changes nothing.

Pierre Le Marre 16c079d6 2025-06-06T20:27:45 chore: Rename is_absolute to is_absolute_path
Pierre Le Marre 39b4b670 2025-06-06T18:40:29 Support including keymap components using %-expansion and absolute path Enable to use the same `include` features than *rules* files in *keymap components*: - *`%`-expansion*: `%H` home directory, `%S` sytem root and `%E` extra. - absolute file paths. This is useful if one wants to overwrite the system file with a user config (i.e. same name, but in `~/.config/xkb`), but still include the system file: ``` // File: ~/.config/xkb/symbols/de xkb_symbols "basic" { include "%S/de(basic)" key <AB01> { [z, Z] }; key <AD06> { [y, Y] }; } ```` Without the commit, using a mere `include "de(basic)"` would result in an include loop. Refactored by using the same code for rules and keymap components.

It enables overriding a previous action and breaks latches. This is a libxkbcommon extension. When serializing it will be converted to `LockControls(controls=none,affect=neither)` for backward compatibility. We cannot serialize it to `NoAction()`, as it would be dropped in e.g. the context of multiple actions.

Pierre Le Marre 551cca2a 2024-12-03T10:12:03 state: Add server API for updating latched and locked mods & layout Up to now, the “server state” `xkb_state` API only offered one entry point to update the server state – `xkb_state_update_key`, which reflects the direct keyboard keys state. But some updates come out-of-band from keyboard input events stream, for example, a GUI layout switcher. The X11 XKB protocol has a request which allows for such updates, `XkbLatchLockState`[^1], but xkbcommon does not have similar functionality. So server applications ended up using `xkb_state_update_state` for this, but that’s a function intended for client applications, not servers. Add support for updating the latched & locked state of the mods and layout. Note that the depressed states cannot be updated in this way -- XKB does not expect them to be updated out of band.

Furthermore, this hack may not work in the future if we remove virtual mods resolution in `xkb_state_update_mask` to avoid corner-cases issues.

Pierre Le Marre c2d3694b 2025-05-06T07:01:01 xkbcomp: Do not discard extra bits in vmod masks Since we accept numeric values for the vmod mask in the keymap, we may have extra bits set that encode *no* real/virtual modifier. Keep them unchanged for consistency. E.g. the following keymap: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { <a> = 38; }; xkb_symbols { virtual_modifiers X = 0xf0000000; key <a> { [ SetMods(mods = 0x00001100) ] }; }; }; would compile to: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { <a> = 38; }; xkb_symbols { virtual_modifiers X = 0xf0000000; // Internal state key <a> { [ SetMods(mods = 0xf0001000) ] }; // Serialization key <a> { [ SetMods(mods = 0x00001100) ] }; }; };
Pierre Le Marre dddffd51 2025-05-05T13:22:57 state: Fix virtual modifiers with non-real mod mapping Currently there are 2 issues with the handling of virtual modifiers in the keyboard state: 1. We assume that the input modifiers masks encode the indexes of all the modifiers of the keymap, but this is true only for the *real* modifiers (at least in xkbcommon and X11). Indeed, since the virtual modifiers *indexes* are implementation-specific, the input modifier masks merely *encode* the modifiers via their *mapping*. Consider the following keymap: ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_compat { virtual_modifiers M1 = 0x100; }; xkb_types { virtual_modifiers M2 = 0x200; }; }; ``` Now to illustrate, consider the following 2 implementation variants of libxkbcommon (assuming indexes 0-7 are the usual real modifiers): 1. Process `xkb_compat` then `xkb_types`. M1 and M2 have the respective indexes 8 and 9 and map to themselves (with the current assumption about mask denotation). 2. Process `xkb_types` then `xkb_compat`. M1 and M2 have the respective indexes 9 and 8 and map to each other. With the current `xkb_state_update_mask`, implementation 2 will swap M1 and M2 (compared to impl. 1) at each update! Indeed, we can see that `xkb_state_serialize_mods` doesn’t roundtrip via `xkb_state_update_mask`. 2. We assume that modifier masks use only bits denoting modifiers in the keymap, but when parsing the keymap we accept explicit virtual modifiers mapping of arbitrary values. E.g. if `M1` is the only virtual modifier and it is defined by: ```c virtual_modifiers M1 = 0x80000000; // 1 << (32 - 1) ``` then the 32th bit of a modifier mask input does *not* denote the 32th virtual modifier of the keymap, but merely the encoding of the mapping of `M1`. So when calling `xkb_state_update_mask`, we may discard some bits of the modifiers masks and end up with an incorrect state. These 2 issues may break interoperability with other implementations of XKB (e.g. kbvm) and make pure virtual modifiers handling fragile. We introduce the notion of *canonical state modifier mask*: the mask with the smallest population count that denotes all bits used to encode the modifiers in the keyboard state. It is equal to the bitwise OR of real modifiers mask and all the virtual modifiers mappings. This commit fixes the 2 issues by making *weaker* assumptions about the input modifier masks: 1. Modifiers may map to arbitrary values, not only real modifiers. 2. Input modifier masks merely encode modifiers via their *mapping*: - *real* modifiers map to themselves; - *virtual* modifiers map to the bitwise OR of their *explicit* mapping (via `virtual_modifiers`) and their *implicit* mapping (via keys’ real and virtual modmaps). - modifiers indexes are implementation-specific. Since the implementation before this commit also resolved virtual modifiers to their mappings, we continue doing so, but using only the bits that are *not* set in the canonical state modifier mask, so that we enable roundtrip of `xkb_state_serialize_mods` via `xkb_state_update_mask`. 3. Input modifier masks do not denote modifiers indexes (apart from real modifiers), so it is safe to discard only the bits that are not set in the canonical state modifier mask.

Pierre Le Marre 230b6a6a 2025-05-06T14:35:26 Fix key type map entry with unbound vmod not ignored Currently we only ignore key type map entries with non-zero mods and with a zero modifier mask. However, the XKB protocol states ([source]): > Map entries which specify unbound virtual modifiers are not considered. So we currently handle `map[Unbound]` key type map entries (all modifiers unbound) but not `map[Bound+Unbound]` entries (mix of bound and unbound modifiers). Fixed by properly checking unbound modifiers on each key type map entry. This also fixes a test that was accidentally passing. [source]: https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#:~:text=Map%20entries%20which%20specify%20unbound%20virtual%20modifiers,not%20considered
Pierre Le Marre f8148744 2025-05-06T11:26:21 Define the mapping of real modifiers explicitly When querying for a modifier mapping, we should treat all modifiers equally. So simply store real modifier mapping as we do for the virtual ones. Also fixed useless boolean conversions.

Pierre Le Marre 9b0b8c68 2025-04-15T19:53:28 xkbcomp: Stricter handling of default map include Before this commit, including a *default* map, i.e. without an explicit section name (e.g. `include "au"` vs `include "au(basic)"`) would match the first section of the first matching file in the XKB include paths, even if this section is not an *explicit* default map (i.e. tagged with `default`) but an *implicit* default map (i.e. the first map of the file, i.e. a weak match). It makes user configuration risky: say a user wants to create a custom version `au(custom)` of the `au` layout: - `./config/xkb/symbols/au`: custom layout in section “custom”. - `/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/au`: system layout, with *default* section “basic”. In this setup *any* layout that imports the default map from `au` would in fact import the *implicit* default map `au(custom)` instead of the *explicit* default map `au(basic)`. This incorrect behavior may thus break setups with multiple layouts. This is especially true for symbols files such as: `pc`, `us` or `latin`. Fixed by trying harder to found the exact default map, defaulting to the old behavior (weak match) only if no *explicit* default map (exact match) has been found in the XKB include paths.
Pierre Le Marre 9ede705b 2025-04-13T09:50:18 state: Capitalization transformation in xkb_state_key_get_syms Previously `xkb_state_key_get_syms()` did not perform capitalization tranformation, while `xkb_state_key_get_one_sym()` does perform it. This is unfortunate if we want to promote the use of multiple keysyms per levels. The API make it difficult to change now though: we return a pointer to an immutable array rather than filling a buffer. While we could use an internal buffer in `xkb_state`, this option would limit the API to *sequential* calls of `xkb_state_key_get_syms()` or require some buffer handling (e.g. rotation). Instead we now store the capitalization directly in `xkb_level`. We modified `xkb_level` like so (see below for discussion about the size): ```diff struct xkb_level { - unsigned int num_syms; + uint16_t num_syms; - unsigned int num_actions; + uint16_t num_actions; + union { + /** num_syms == 1: Upper keysym */ + xkb_keysym_t upper; + /** num_syms > 1: Indicate if `syms` contains the upper case + * keysyms after the lower ones. */ + bool has_upper; + }; union { xkb_keysym_t sym; /* num_syms == 1 */ xkb_keysym_t *syms; /* num_syms > 1 */ } s; union { union xkb_action action; /* num_actions == 1 */ union xkb_action *actions; /* num_actions > 1 */ } a; }; ``` - When `level.num_syms` <= 1, we store the upper keysym in `level.upper`. - Else if there no cased syms, we set `level.has_upper` to false. - Else if there are some cased syms, we set `level.has_upper`` to `true` and we double the original size of `level.s.syms`, but *without* modifying `level.num_syms`. We then append the transformed keysyms right after the original ones, so that we can access them by a simple pointer operation: `level.s.syms + level.num_syms`. The memory footprint is *unchanged*, thanks to the reduced fields for actions and keysyms counts.
Pierre Le Marre 9e93e5e5 2025-04-13T10:25:02 symbols: Restrict the number of actions and keysyms per level In preparation to support capitalization in `xkb_state_key_get_syms()`, this commit reduces the number of supported actions and keysyms per level, going from UINT_MAX to UINT16_MAX. This is most likely still more than enough and could be even reduced further, but deemed unnecessary at the moment: alignment of `struct xkb_level` is driven by the fields `a` and `s`. - Switched the item count type from `unsigned int` to `uint16_t`. - Introduced `xkb_{action,keysym}_count_t` type for the respective item count for exact typing. - Added relevant bounds checks.

Pierre Le Marre a1e595e7 2025-04-11T11:13:25 rules: Fix merging KcCGST values in layout order When using layout index ranges (e.g. special indexes “any” or “later”), the rules still match following the order in the rules file, so layout indexes may match without following their natural order. So the resulting KcCGST value should not be merged with the output until reaching the end of the rule set. Because the rule set may also involve options, it may match multiple times for the *same* layout index. So these multiple matches should not be merged together either, until reaching the end of the rule set. When reaching the end of the rule set, for each KcCGST component the pending values are then merged: for each layout, for each KcCGST value in the corresponding sequence, merge with the output. --- Example: ! model = symbols * = pc ! layout[any] option = symbols C 1 = +c1:%i C 2 = +c2:%i B 3 = skip B 4 = +b:%i The result of RMLVO {layout: "A,B,C", options: "4,3,2,1"} is: symbols = pc+b:2+c1:3+c2:3 - `skip` was dropped because it has no explicit merge mode; - although every rule was matched in order, the resulting order of the symbols follows the order of the layouts, so `+b` appears before `+c1` and `+c2`. - the relative order of the options for layout C follows the order within the rule set, not the order of RMLVO. Before this commit, the result would have been: symbols = pc+c1:3+c2:3+b:2

An empty string denotes `NoSymbol`. When such conversion is not possible, this will raise a syntax error. This introduces the following syntax: ```c // Empty string = `NoSymbol` key <1> {[""]}; // NoSymbol // Single code point = single keysym key <2> {["é"]}; // eacute // String = translate each code point to their respective keysym key <3> {["sßξك🎺"]}; // {s, ssharp, Greek_xi, Arabic_kaf, U1F3BA} // Mix string and keysyms key <4> {[{"ξ", Greek_kappa, "β"}]}; // { Greek_xi, Greek_kappa, Greek_beta} ``` It can also be used wherever a keysym is required, e.g. in `interpret` and `modifier_map` statements. In these cases a single keysym is expected, so the string should contain *exactly one* Unicode code point.

Pierre Le Marre bc3e464b 2025-04-09T12:35:05 keysyms: Fix Unicode handling - `xkb_utf32_to_keysym`: Allow [Unicode noncharacters]. There is no requirement to drop them and this would be the only function of our API doing so. From the Unicode Standard 16.0, section 23.7 “Noncharacters”: > Applications are free to use any of these noncharacter code points > internally. They have no standard interpretation when exchanged > outside the context of internal use. However, they are not illegal > in interchange, nor does their presence cause Unicode text to be > ill-formed. > If a noncharacter is received in open interchange, an application is > not required to interpret it in any way. It is good practice, > however, to recognize it as a noncharacter and to take appropriate > action, such as replacing it with `U+FFFD` REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, > to indicate the problem in the text. The key part is: > an application is not required to interpret it in any way Since we handle the reverse conversion with `xkb_keysym_to_utf32` just fine, I do not see a good motivation to keep this asymmetry. This is the only function with a special case for these code points. - `xkb_keysym_from_name`: - Unicode format `UNNNN`: allow control characters C0 and C1 and use `xkb_utf32_to_keysym` for the conversion when `NNNN < 0x100`, for backward compatibility. - Numeric hexadecimal format `0xNNNN`: *unchanged*. Contrary to the Unicode format, it does not normalize any keysym values in order to enable roundtrip with `xkb_keysym_get_name`. Also added tests to ensure various properties and consistency. Note about *surrogates*: they are valid valid *code points* but invalid Unicode *scalar values*, i.e. they cannot be encoded in any Unicode encoding form (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32). So their corresponding Unicode keysyms are valid, but: - cannot be used as input of `xkb_keysym_to_utf32` nor `xkb_keysym_to_utf8` - cannot result as output of `xkb_utf32_to_keysym`. Otherwise they are valid e.g. in the Unicode keysym notation. [Unicode noncharacters]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Character_Set_characters#Noncharacters
Pierre Le Marre 08d9a031 2025-04-08T06:31:33 Unicode: Make surrogate handling more explicit
Pierre Le Marre 5e557040 2025-04-09T11:17:00 xkbcomp: Fix Unicode escape sequence While the previous code correctly rejected malformed sequences such as `\u{` (incomplete) or `\u{123x}`, it should try to consume as much input as possible until reaching the corresponding closing `}` within the string. Else we can get leftovers and the error message does not reference the whole malformed sequence. Also added further tests with surrogates and noncharacters.
Pierre Le Marre ca798d21 2025-04-08T16:21:46 keysyms: Pad Unicode keysyms only up to 4 digits Previously there was a distinction between keysyms with code points in BMP and the others: the former used a 4-padding while the latter used a 8-padding: e.g `U0001` vs `U00010000`. This is unnecessary and makes the reading harder. Let’s use the same padding for all: `U0001` and `U10000`. Parsing remains unchanged and would parse both paddings. Also added a test to check no explicit name can clash with Unicode notation.

Pierre Le Marre 6d4cc135 2025-04-05T13:39:30 xkbcomp: Escape ASCII control characters
Pierre Le Marre 3d79f459 2025-03-29T11:46:34 xkbcomp: Add Unicode code point escape sequence \u{NNNN} Unicode code point escape sequences `\u{NNNN}` are replaced with the UTF-8 encoding of their corresponding code point `U+NNNN`, if legal. Supported Unicode code points are in the range `1‥0x10ffff`. Note that we will reject the `U+0000` NULL code point, as we reject it in the octal escape sequence `\0`. This is intended mainly for the upcoming feature to write keysyms as UTF-8 encoded strings. It can be used for various reasons: - avoid encoding issues; - avoid issue with font rendering (e.g. Asian scripts); - make white space or zero-width characters more readable.
Pierre Le Marre 23bbec96 2025-03-29T12:33:53 xkbcomp: Add escape sequence \" `\"` seems like a very natural extension. However it is not supported by Xorg xkbcomp, so do not emit it when serializing.
Pierre Le Marre 7d91a753 2025-03-29T12:24:39 xkbcomp: Enable xkbcomp-style octal escape sequences Xorg xkbcomp only parses octal sequences with `\0`, while xkbcommon does not force the `0` prefix of the numeric part. However, we only parsed up to to 3 digits, which does not allow to parse e.g. `\0377` while `\377` parses fine. Fixed by parsing up to 4 octal digits, while checking the result fits into a byte.

Pierre Le Marre aa8b572e 2025-03-29T12:04:26 keymap serialization: Ensure escaping relevant chars Previously we would write characters without any escaping in some cases (e.g.: names of indicators, types and groups). E.g. the string "new\nline" would be serialized as: "new line" which would raise a syntax error if parsed. Fixed by escaping any string that was not escaped after parsing (e.g. the section names are safe already).

Pierre Le Marre d2f7b9cd 2025-04-04T17:29:35 rules: Do not use strto* parsers
Pierre Le Marre d5a91fa9 2025-04-04T16:38:16 xkbcomp: Use custom parsers instead of strtol* The use of `strtol*` functions was already restricted due to its slowness and its capacity to parse other stuff than digits (e.g. signs and spaces). There is also another *big* limitation: it requires a NULL-terminated string. This is incompatible with our functions that work on buffers, because we cannot guarantee this. This may lead to a memory violation if the last token is a number. We now roll out our own parsers, which are more efficients and compatible with buffers.

Pierre Le Marre 44480f7c 2025-04-01T08:28:02 xkbcomp: Enable lists of keysyms and actions {} and {a} Motivations: - Follow the principle of least astonishment; - Ensure consistency; - Enhance the use of custom defaults; - Facilitate the tests. There is some ambiguity because we use `{}` to denote both an empty list of keysyms and an empty list of actions. But as soon as we get a keysym or an action, we know whether it is a `MultiKeySymList` or a `MultiActionList`. So we just count the `{}` at the *beginning* using `NoSymbolOrActionList`, then replace it by the relevant count of `NoSymbol` or `NoAction()` once the ambiguity is solved. If not, this is a list of empties of *some* type: we drop those empties and delegate the type resolution using `ExprEmptyList()`.
Pierre Le Marre e09cbe66 2025-04-02T10:46:06 symbols: Fix handling of empty keys Before this commit, the following symbols: ```c xkb_symbols { virtual_modifiers M1, M2; key <A> {}; key <B> { [] }; key.vmods = M1; key <C> {}; key <D> { vmods = M2 }; }; ``` would be equivalent to: ```c xkb_symbols { virtual_modifiers M1,M2; key <B> { [ NoSymbol ] }; }; ``` `<B>` entry could be skipped but is harmless. However, `<C>` and `<D>` are missing, which would lead to the mapping resolution of `M1` and `M2` failing. After this commit, it is equivalent to: ```c virtual_modifiers M1,M2; key <C> { vmods = M1 }; key <D> { vmods = M2 }; ``` Empty keys are skipped entirely, but any explicit field: - is taken into account: previously they would be skipped if there were no group; - forces the key to be printed at serialization.
Pierre Le Marre 2e0245f8 2025-04-02T10:45:44 xkbcomp: Enable more empty lists - Empty `interpret` - Empty key `type` - Empty `indicator` Motivations: - Follow the principle of least astonishment; - Ensure consistency; - Enhance the use of custom defaults; - Facilitate the tests.
Pierre Le Marre 6881fb32 2025-04-01T08:28:02 xkbcomp: Drop trailing NoSymbol and NoAction() This brings us closer to what `xkbcomp` outputs. One should use the explicit `VoidSymbol` instead of `NoSymbol`, in order to avoid dropping empty levels. This may affect keys that rely on an *implicit* key type. Example: - Input: ```c key <> { [a, A, NoSymbol] }; ``` - Compilation with xkbcommon \< 1.9.0: ```c key <> { type= "FOUR_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC", [a, A, NoSymbol, NoSymbol] }; ``` - Compilation with xkbcommon ≥ 1.9.0: ```c key <> { type= "ALPHABETIC", [a, A] }; ```

Pierre Le Marre 8ba5c453 2025-03-30T10:07:10 xkbcomp: Use section reference as default section name Before this commit the following keymap: ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode {}; }; ``` would result in (boilerplate removed): ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode "(unnamed)" {}; }; ``` This is both useless and wasting allocation: section names are optional, so we should just remove this default name altogether and keep it undefined, as in the original keymap. The situation is a bit different if there is an include, as for keymaps created from RMLVO names. Before this commit, the following keymap: ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; }; ``` would result in (boilerplate removed): ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode "(unnamed)" { … }; }; ``` With this commit we now follow the Xorg xkbcomp style by using the section reference (the include string) as the *default* section name. So the previous example would now result in: ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode "evdev_aliases(qwerty)" { … }; }; ``` which is useful to give a hint of the original include. Note that if the original section had a name, it would preserve it: ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode "test" { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; }; ``` would compile to: ```c xkb_keymap { xkb_keycode "test" { … }; }; ```
Pierre Le Marre 3150bca8 2025-03-30T09:54:02 xkbcomp: Make all components optional We already accept *empty* components, such as: `xkb_compat {};`. Let’s accept missing components as well, so that we can reduce the boilerplate in our tests. Note that we will still explicitly serialize empty components for compatibility with previous xkbcommon versions and Xorg xkbcomp.
