Keyboard layout problem

Open HyzenB opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Dvorak layout works for me automatically, but not with modifier keys. e.g. pressing c inputs c (in any appl), but ctrl+c inputs crtl+i (c in dvorak is the same place as i in qwerty)

It is not clear how to change the keyboard layout in arcan applications including durden.

It's been reworked somewhat and not completely documented yet. I assume that you are on a linux system using arcan natively (latest master on arcan and durden) with the linux console having the 'right' layout.

If so, the maps can be switched at runtime:

global/input/keyboard/maps/platform (layout, model, variant, options) using the normal xkbcommon (other wayland compositors and xorg).

It can also be set before starting arcan: arcan_db add_appl_kv arcan event_xkb_model something (same with event_xkb_variant, event_xkb_options, event_xkb_layout).
