Implement support for keyboard layouts. #177

Open nicolas-graves opened 2 years ago

nicolas-graves commented 2 years ago

From the README:

Now it's possible to implement support for different keyboard layouts in type

How can I do that ? I can't find the information.

Also I would like to raise the possibility that all common keyboards are defined from keycodes in the package xkeyboard-config "symbols" directory. Maybe if we can parse those files, the support for all keyboards might be easy to implement.

More precisely, the match between linux keycodes and xkb keycodes can be done from /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev and then the match with each keyboard from files in the symbols directory. Source: https://renenyffenegger.ch/notes/Linux/fhs/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev
