    Message : keysym: handle ssharp in XConvertCase() lowercase: LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S (U+00DF) uppercase: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) The uppercase sharp s (XK_ssharp) is a relatively recent addition to unicode but was added to the relevant keyboard layouts in xkeyboard-config-2.25 (d1411e5e95c) https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/issues/144 Alas, the CapsLock behavior was broken on the finnish layout (maybe others). This was due XConvertCase() never returning the uppercase characters. Let's make this function return the right lower/upper symbols for the sharp s and hope that the world won't get any worse because of it.

  • libxkbcommon

    libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) specification. It also contains a module for handling Compose and dead keys.

    Quick Guide

    See Quick Guide.

    Building

    libxkbcommon is built with Meson:

    meson setup build
ninja -C build

    To build for use with Wayland, you can disable X11 support while still using the X11 keyboard configuration resource files thusly:

    meson setup build \
    -Denable-x11=false \
    -Dxkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
    -Dx-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale
ninja -C build

    API

    While libxkbcommon's API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to expose fewer internal details to clients.

    See the API Documentation.

    Dataset

    libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for testing purposes. The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data. More information on xkeyboard-config is available here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig

    The dataset for Compose is distributed in libX11, as part of the X locale data.

    Relation to X11

    See Compatibility notes.
