Convert from keysym to scancode key handling

Open wasamasa opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

The graphical shell has rather weird keyboard handling, on a QWERTY-US layout I cannot even type (+ 1 1). I've switched the responsible code from keysyms to scancodes to enforce a consistent QWERTY-US layout, but can change it to the presumably customized QWERTZ-DE layout if you wish.

Ah nice, didn't spot that one. How would one do keyboard layout configuration after that kind of change?

I realized that this isn't ideal for a few reasons:

  • No keypad handling
  • Inconsistent with the USPI keyboard handling which defaults to qwerty-UK

I will need to do tests with a proper keyboard for the former and some more hacking for the latter.
