Hello,

I bump this bug after 5 years, because I'm hitting it on KDE 5 Wayland.

Same here, I'm using FR-BEPO layout for my main keyboard (Moonlander), but have
a secondary Typematrix keyboard and I need to use US for Yubikey (physically
hardcoded to send US keycode).
So my X11 config is:

```
Section "InputClass"
  Identifier   "default"
  MatchIsKeyboard  "yes"
  Option "XkbModel""pc105"
  Option "XkbLayout"   "fr"
  Option "XkbVariant"  "bepo"
  Option "XkbOptions"  "kpdl:kposs,grp:sclk_toggle,compose:lwin"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier  "typematrix"
   MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
   MatchVendor "TypeMatrix.com"
   Option "XkbModel"   "tm2030USB-102"
   Option "XkbLayout"  "fr"
   Option "XkbVariant" "bepo"
   Option "XkbOptions" "kpdl:kposs,grp:sclk_toggle,compose:lwin"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier  "moonlander"
  MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
  MatchVendor "ZSA"
  Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
  Option "XkbLayout"  "fr"
  Option "XkbVariant" "bepo"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier  "yubikey"
  MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
  MatchVendor "Yubico"
  Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
  Option "XkbLayout"  "us"
  Option "XkbVariant" "basic"
EndSection
```

Currently Wayland is broken because only one layout is possible, and so I can't
have the correct keyboard model (tm2030USB-102 / pc105) or layout (FR-BEPO / US
/ FR) based on the related physical keyboard.

An udev rule would work, I just thought it would be nice to be able to
configure that using the GUI only…

FYI, under X11, I configure it manually with xinput/setxkbmap that way :

~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer  id=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPadid=15   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=16   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Kensington  Kensington Expert Mouse   id=9[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard   id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard   id=5[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button  id=6[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button  id=8[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated Camera id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard  id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttonsid=17   [slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Yubico Yubikey 4 OTP+U2F+CCID id=18   [slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard   id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard   id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
~$ setxkbmap -device 11 fr bepo

I wasn't aware that such a feature in X existed. It sounds interesting. I don't
have a real idea yet how to implement it, but it's certainly something which
could be done.

Basically all that's needed is to switch the layout to the one specified
whenever the keyboard is used. The problem is how to do this specifying.
Personally I would prefer if that would be a hint through udev.
