Changing keyboard layouts dynamically #61

Is it possible to change keyboard layout dynamically without restarting the compositor?

Translation: Is there an easy to use API to change keyboard layout at runtime.

Also, yeah, I think keyboard layout switching is important, I have a French keyboard, and sometimes I have to switch keyboard layout around to help me make some games work correctly.

Yes, LKeyboard::setKeymap() can be called at any time and will update all clients keymaps.
