retoor19744dYou really jumped in the deep end with that one :D
Starting with the hardest feature of one of the hardest os's -
What they tell you: You can configure anything in Linux.
The reality: You HAVE to configure EVERYTHING in Linux. -
@antigermanist Programatically though. I need to get local keys from physical scancodes

n1cK1337343d...because for the super smartass who built this, everyone else is just stupid. Welcome to the linux world ;)

@12bitfloat ah. Why not just libusb? how hard can it be, it's a keyboard, it sends bits
-
@antigermanist Well I got x11 scancodes. Usb doesn't help me much
It was actually pretty easy in the end though, xkbcommon has all the functions I need -
@12bitfloat yeah everything is super hard and frustrating before you get it and then you're like "omg im so stupid".
Fucking finally got xkb and xcb to work after hours of bullshit
Why is it so fucking hard getting a damn keyboard layout on linux ðŸ˜
