    Message : actions: Add support for multiple actions per level This makes 1 keysym == 1 action holds also for multiple keysyms per level. The motivation of this new feature are: - Make multiple keysyms per level more intuitive. - Explore how to fix the issue with shortcuts in multi-layout settings (see the xkeyboard-config issue[^1]). The idea is to use e.g.: ```c key <LCTL> { symbols[1] = [ {Control_L, ISO_First_Group } ], actions[1] = [ {SetMods(modifiers=Control), SetGroup(group=-4) } ] }; ``` in order to switch temporarily to a reference layout in order to get the same shortcuts on every layout. When no action is specified, `interpret` statements are used to find an action corresponding for *each* keysym, as expected. For an interpretation matching Any keysym, we may get the same interpretation for multiple keysyms. This may result in unwanted duplicate actions. So set this interpretation only if no previous keysym was matched with this interpret at this level, else set the default interpretation. For now, at most one action of each following categories is allowed per level: - modifier actions: `SetMods`, `LatchMods`, `LockMods`; - group actions: `SetGroup`, `LatchGroup`, `LockGroup`. Some examples: - `SetMods` + `SetGroup`: ok - `SetMods` + `SetMods`: error - `SetMods` + `LockMods`: error - `SetMods` + `LockGroup`: ok [^1]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/416

  • 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

    Building

    libxkbcommon is built with Meson:

    meson setup build
meson compile -C build
meson test -C build # Run the tests.

    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
meson compile -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
