Customize the Settings button behavior

[nicolasfella]

Currently clicking the Settings button in the language menu opens the settings:///system/language URI (https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/blob/master/qml/keys/LanguageMenu.qml#L48)

It would be good to have a way to configure an arbitrary command to be run instead, e.g. on Plasma we'd like to run something like kcmshell5 kcm_maliit.

@aleixpol can we consider this fixed for our purpose?

Yes, as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, as far as I'm concerned.

Though your change was merged, the kcm isn't opened when i choose Settings from the menu in maliit, on my pinephone. However, the keyboard itself closes. Any ideas there?

Yes, I get plasma-settings crashing when opening the kcm, but it's something entirely unrelated:

Also I've no idea why it's crashing, could be a driver bug?

[dobey]

When I try to open systemsettings://kcm_virtualkeyboard with either xdg-open or Qt.openUrlExternally() in a test QML script, I just get an error:

xdg-open: no method available for opening 'systemsettings://kcm_virtualkeyboard'

The component is provided by kde-cli-tools

I think this can be closed, right?
