Layout doesn't change when installing extension

[Thedinotamer]

Describe the bug The Layout doesn't change when installing the extension and even remove some buttons for example ctrl.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Just install the extension

Expected behavior The extension shoud've changed layout to what is on the extension page.

Screenshots This is how my layout looks like:

This is how it should look like:

And this is the troubleshooting steps written on your your github page (which didn't work for me because ibus is installed by default in Fedora 38 unless i'm misunderstanding something and sudo dnf install ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola didn't work either... because i'm on Fedora, but I had to try atleast XD):

Environment (please complete the following information):

Additional context Have you been running your system for a while, or is it a fresh installation? I'm originally a Windows 10 user and have done a dual boot config with Fedora 38 using this tutorial: https://www.techhut.tv/how-to-dual-boot-fedora-and-windows-11/

Are you running any other extensions that might interfere with on-screen keyboard? Application menu and User themes

Does journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat show any errors?

Can you see any errors in looking glass? (Press Alt + F2, enter lg, switch to "extensions" tab and click "show errors" for Improved OSK extension) Doesn't show any errors

After switching to extension manager and installing that way i get this from journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat:

Same issue with Debian 12, GNOME 43.4

@Thedinotamer are you using one of the languages with extended keys? I'm using dk layout and I also don't have the extra keys. I changed the https://github.com/nick-shmyrev/improved-osk-gnome-ext/blob/master/src/data/osk-layouts/dk.json file and build/installed the extension to get it to show up.

I do not think the typing-booster errors matter, although I have installed it to get rid of the error.

[Thedinotamer]

@henrik-farre I'm using the swedish keyboard layout. What do you mean by changing the json file for the corresponding language? Or more correctly, what did you change?

and build/installed the extension to get it to show up

I'm guessing you mean that you uninstalled and then reinstalled the extension?

[henrik-farre]

I cloned this repo and copied the us-extended.json to the dk.json file, and just added æøå, it does not look pretty but it works :)

I uninstalled the extension from extensions.gnome.org and followed the instructions in the README.md to install the modified version.

I also face this issue with a german keyboard. However I cannot confirm, that de.json would be the problem. If I overwrite us.json and us-extended.json with de.json, install and switch to us layout I get a perfect german on screen keyboard. To me it seems there is a problem with loading the correct layout. Will further investigate this issue and submit a patch (do not see the need to fork this repo, especially since I refuse to host code on github)

Debian 12, GNOME 43.9 and this is still an issue, even when only using English (US) keyboard layout.
