Bug ID: 511832
Summary: Wayland: Add per-window keyboard layout switching
(e.g. Konsole always in English)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
In KDE Plasma under Wayland, keyboard layout switching is currently global and
not tied to individual windows. This is a regression compared to X11, where the
“per-window layout” option allowed workflows like:
Using two layouts (e.g. us, ua)
Having Konsole always open in English layout (us)
Automatically restoring layout when refocusing a window
In Wayland, even if us is the first layout, Konsole inherits the current global
layout at launch and on focus. There is no way to bind a layout to a specific
window or application.
Request: Please implement per-window layout switching in Wayland, starting with
Konsole support. Ideally:
Allow layout to be remembered per window or application
Restore layout on window focus
Provide D-Bus or scripting API for layout control
This would restore a critical usability feature for multilingual users and
terminal-heavy workflows.
