libxklavier is "considered deprecated". This pulls keymap information from the registry, and then changes to the current layout are done via setxkbmap.

TODO

  • Recommit the PR with a shorter name
  • Add the "since" tags or whatever for the new "variant" layout prop
  • Figure out how to clean up the.. abundance.. of variants that did not show up by default for active keyboard layouts
  • Formatting
  • Update CI
  • Clean up as much as possible

LLM Disclosure

Use of search result responses to help debug and find information. Most notably helped me realize I needed the x11_xkb bridge extension thing.

Closes #415
