[Linux] Install custom layout overrides all others
Hi,
I just tried kalamine to create a custom layout, but upon running the install command (wayland), after a reboot, all my gnome activated layouts (French Azerty, Optimot, Ergo-L) all respond as if they were my custom layout. Which is great for adoption, not so great when you need to debug a production bug :-)
If I remove the custom layout using kalamine, everything is back to normal.
I don't know if it's related, but I have this error popping when launching Gnome control panel:
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Missing closing '"': "^\" # LIGATURE: U005C: <dead_circumflex> <backslash> : "^\" # LIGATURE: U005C
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Can't handle >16bit keyvals
Could that be from my layout?
Thank you, The project looks promising.

About the error Missing closing '"' […]: this come from a malformed custom Compose file. Fix:
- <dead_circumflex> <backslash> : "^\" # LIGATURE: U005C
+ <dead_circumflex> <backslash> : "^\\" # LIGATURE: U005C
Although I am not sure what this sequence is intended for.
Thanks, I fix the malformed Compose file.
But it doesn't change that as soon as I run:
xkalamine install layout.toml
All my gnome input methods are using my custom layout regardless of the selected one in gnome.
Am I missing something?
would it be possible to share your layout file to see if we can reproduce the bug ? I haven’t had this issue myself and would like to try-out your file to see if there is creating this behaviour.
Yeah sure!
I can't upload a TOML file, so I just put the content here:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Layers
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# ### base
#
# The `base` layer contains the base and shifted keys:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> | ? |
# base --------> | / |
# +-----+
#
# When the base and shift keys correspond to the same character, you may only
# specify the uppercase char:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> | A |
# (base = a) --> | |
# +-----+
#
#
# ### altgr
#
# The `altgr` layer contains the altgr and shift+altgr symbols:
#
# +-----+
# | | <----- (altgr+shift+key is undefined)
# | { | <----- altgr+key = {
# +-----+
#
#
# ### full
#
# The `full` view lets you specify the `base` and `altgr` levels together:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> | A | <----- (altgr+shift+key is undefined)
# (base = a) --> | { | <----- altgr+key = {
# +-----+
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Dead Keys
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# ### Usage
#
# Dead keys are preceded by a `*` sign. They can be used in the `base` layer:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> |*" | = dead diaeresis
# base --------> |*´ | = dead acute accent
# +-----+
#
# … as well as in the `altgr` layer:
#
# +-----+
# | *" | <----- altgr+shift+key = dead diaeresis
# | *´ | <----- altgr+key = dead acute accent
# +-----+
#
# … and combined in the `full` layer:
#
# +-----+
# shift+key = A --> | A*" | <----- altgr+shift+key = dead diaeresis
# key = a --> | a*´ | <----- altgr+key = dead acute accent
# +-----+
#
#
# ### Standard Dead Keys
#
# The following dead keys are supported, and their behavior cannot be customized:
#
# id XKB name base -> accented chars

#
# ### Custom Dead Key
#
# There is one dead key (1dk), noted `**`, that can be customized by specifying
# how it modifies each character in the `base` layer:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> | ? ¿ | <----- 1dk, shift+key
# base --------> | / ÷ | <----- 1dk, key
# +-----+
#
# When the base and shift keys correspond to the same accented character, you may
# only specify the lowercase accented char in the `base` layer:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> | A | <----- (1dk, shift+key = À)
# (base = a) --> | à | <----- 1dk, key = à
# +-----+
#
# You may also chain dead keys by specifying a dead key in the `1dk` layer:
#
# +-----+
# shift -------> | G |
# (base = g) --> | *µ | <----- 1dk, key = dead Greek
# +-----+
#
# **Warning:** chained dead keys are not supported by MSKLC, and KbdEdit will be
# required to build a Windows driver for such a keyboard layout.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Space Bar
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Kalamine descriptor files have an optional section to define specific behaviors
# of the space bar in non-base layers:
#
# [spacebar]
# shift = "\u202f" # NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE
# altgr = "\u0020" # SPACE
# altgr_shift = "\u00a0" # NO-BREAK SPACE
# 1dk = "\u2019" # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
# 1dk_shift = "\u2019" # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
#
# Kalamine doesn’t support non-space chars on the `base` layer for the space bar.
# Space characters outside of the space bar are not supported either.
Thanks, Jérémy
would it be possible to share your layout file to see if we can reproduce the bug ? I haven’t had this issue myself and would like to try-out your file to see if there is creating this behaviour.
Hi, happy new year!
@Ced-C Did you have a chance to test my file?
No pressure here.
Thanks. Jérémy
