    test: add a tool to test-compile all LVO combinations from xkeyboard-config

This test contains of two parts:
- a simple program to convert RMLVO commandline arguments into a keymap (and
  print that keymap if requested).
- a python script that runs through rules/evdev.xml, and tries to compile a
  keymap for sort-of every layout/variant/option combination. Sort-of, because
  we can have multiple options and it really only does one per layout(variant)
  combination.

Same thing can be done using xkbcomp, but right now it doesn't take that as
argument, it's hard-coded.

This takes quite a while, installing python-tqdm is recommended to see fancy
progress bars instead of just miles of dumps.

  • 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
