e parses system files to see what keymaps might be available. for example: /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst see https://git.enlightenment.org/enlightenment/enlightenment/src/commit/6cca3f77e8b34d8b25315d31e6e3cb73ad63ff20/src/modules/xkbswitch/e_mod_parse.c#L64 the list of files is there if you ever need a custom layout. it basically finds the first one it can then parses that. so what you want to do is augment your system .lst file to list your kbd map and install it alongside all the other map files so its an option. you don't need your xorg.conf "hack" then - it'll be an option in layouts... i believe this should also work for wayland then too... but don't bet your life on it... i haven't tried. :) but you basically need libinput handling these maps. right now i wouldn't bet on wayland mode working too well here ... so don't use it if you want stable and full featured. wayland is experimental - i added a wayland logo overlay watermark in e git specifically to let people know they are in wayland mode and to act as a minor annoyance to discourage wl mode except for those willing to work on making it better :). it certainly fixes the "why doesn't that work.... wtf ... oh i'm in wayland mode" problem... as it's now obvious. this will get removed when wayland is no longer experimental :) > Hi > I use an old macbook with a distro that is a fork of Nutyx converted > to systemd.
