[Feature Request] Add keyboard layout display

[maksalees]

When several keyboard layouts are set, it can be difficult to enter a password because the selected layout is not displayed.

I looked into it and couldn't find a standard way to get the layout in wayland. I don't want to implement compositor specific features into gtklock. What compositor are you using?

Sway. This feature is in swaylock. Does it use the compositor specific features for this?

I'll check out what swaylock does... Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Unfortunately, swaylock can listen for wl_keyboard events (specificaly keymap). I can't use because gtk already listens to them. gtk4 has a function for this use case (gdk_wayland_device_get_xkb_keymap) but there is no gtk3 equivalent.

Will gtklock be ported to gtk4?

See #44.

I believe with Hyprland it's possible through the remote control utility (hyprctl). Can you guys make a widget for it? Thanks.

I've given up on porting to gtk4 for now and this feature isn't possible on gtk3 so closing.

If you don't mind check this one, please.

Just finished, it covers my use cases, feedback will be much appreciated. 🙂
