Language/keyboard layout module #575

Open madfanat opened 5 months ago

madfanat commented 5 months ago

Request It would be great to have a built-in module similar to Waybar’s "sway/language" or "hyprland/language".

JakeStanger commented 5 months ago

Could you expand on the request please, as I don't have the context on what Waybar's module does, or what you potentially want this one to do differently?

Well, shortly, the main feature of both these modules is the display of the current keyboard layout/language (qwerty, dvorak, ENG, RUS, etc whatever you want). Also, it’s nice to have a popup box with these settings.

For hyprland I think the layoutchanged event in hyprland-rs can be used, but I'm not totally sure

Is there any standardised protocol/service this should be using, or is it down to the compositor to expose over its IPC?

yavko commented 5 months ago

I'm pretty sure it's compositor specific

I tried to do a script for Ironbar to do that, I can change the current layout with this command:

hyprctl switchxkblayout logitech-craft next

But I cannot get the current layout like explained in this tread: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/discussions/2616
