    Revert: tools: add xkbcli-scaffold-new-layout as helper tool

While this tool is useful for users starting with a new keyboard layout, it is a
somewhat bad fit for libxkbcommon. It's the only python tool, we don't even
install it yet (because we're not sure yet what it's supposed to do) and there's
a potential for it to expand into more corner cases.

The only tie it has to libxkbcommon is that it templates the data files that
libxkbcommon reads, but those files are effectively public API.

Let's remove this tool from there and instead move it to a separate git
repository where it can go its own way.

This reverts commit d00cf64dbc586a1052e1f0d0e7f1a48bbff293ec

  • 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 and a separate library for listing available keyboard layouts.

    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
