@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @ellenor2000@mastodon.top @olmitch@shitposter.club @newt@stereophonic.space im gonna have to disagree here

i hate the way xkb has been handled on wayland, its already quite suboptimal on x11 (similtaneously super complicated and abstract, to the point of hurting customisation, but also very bare on features)

but the fact of the matter is, the nicer features (Xcompose and Xkeymap files for slightly easier customisation) rely on a display server that isnt there and a compositor would have to reimplement parts of it just to get them working again which considering how much more work goes into developing a compositor already simply doesnt happen a lot (i think sway did it for xcompose and thats about it)

it barely works on x11, and it honestly really doesnt on wayland, its not one of the "working" parts, its a fucking monster unto its own
