Linux User #330250 <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |m --- Comment #14 from Linux User #330250 <[email protected]> --- I'm very interested in a per-keyboard configuration of a layout as well. The following real life example is actually the one situation I'm in right now: a laptop with 1) an internal keyboard, which is German (de-latin1). This is also the system configuration. Additionally I have 2) a USB keyboard connected with a US English layout that I would like to function as such, while the first one would remain German. 3) an additional external USB keyboard with either German or US layout, but with Korean stickers on it to function in Korean. For the 3rd one I'm currently using Fcitx5. I also tried IBus, but this didn't work well. I use this Korean keyboard on Debian Linux and Microsoft Windows 11. Here is some more information for Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Localization/Korean. On Debian Linux, with Fcitx5, I can use a German keyboard and put Korean keys on it, which means that Shift + 1-0 remains in the German layout, and also the brackets and punctuation marks. Microsoft Windows always automatically falls to a US English basic layout when Korean is selected, with all the punctuation marks and the like switching too. This is unfortunate when the basic keyboard layout is German. The point being that it should be possible, for all inputs (also mice), to have a layout selected per device. I.e. I should be able to use one keyboard in ISO German, another in ANSI English and so forth. I also should be able to use one mouse in right-handed configuration and another in left-handed configuration. I'm running KDE Plasma on Wayland. I know, there are differences when it is run on X11. Off topic: I get where this security thing is coming from. E.g. on macOS, when a new (USB) keyboard is connected, a window is presented asking about it's layout and it will only be usable, once this layout is selected. This could add to additional security, but I don't know if it has something to do with different layouts or not. I don't know if macOS allows them... Again, the point being that KDE Plasma should. I haven't tried this (not using X11 right now), but it seems that it could work with X11, as mentioned here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/739471/xorg-2-keyboards-with-different-layouts/752082, on the other hand it doesn't seek to always work, as mentioned here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/762900/using-different-layout-for-each-keyboard. I think that KDE Plasma should have a working configuration of its own, including languages like Korean. (While I think, I've seen Korean in KDE Settings, I think I remember that this wasn't satisfactory, and the solution was to use Fcitx5 instead.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
