--- Comment #10 from Johannes Schmidt <johannes-schm...@dorsai.eu> ---
I'm not 100% solid on this, but as far as I'm aware, even if you uncheck layout
settings and options in the KCM, the only way to apply xkb settings (user or
system) manually is using xkbcomp/setxkbmap in .xinitrc/.bashrc or globally via
xorg.conf, which all have downsides and all require X11 to work.

On Wayland, as far as I know, all xkb stuff requires the compositor (kwin) to
do the work and thus discoverability to present the choices added by the user
in the settings. And for that, KDE needs to either add support for
libxkbregistry or otherwise parse the ~/.config/xkb/rules/evdev.xml file to
discover what settings are available.

And even if Wayland isn't a priority yet (which surely can't be true, but
fine), can "just disable the GUI setting and do it manually somewhere outside
KDE" really be the answer for a project that strives for user-friendliness,
convenience and standard conformity?

Correct me if I'm entirely wrong on this or missing something, But I don't see
what I, as a user am supposed to do when I want to add a modified layout or
options on Plasma Wayland.
