README.md

libxkbcommon

libxkbcommon is a keymap compiler and support library which processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB specification.

Quick Guide

See Quick Guide.

API

While libxkbcommon's API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to expose fewer internal details to clients.

See the API Documentation.

Dataset

libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for testing purposes. The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data. More information on xkeyboard-config is available here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig

Relation to X11

See Compatibility notes.

Development

An extremely rudimentary homepage can be found at http://xkbcommon.org

xkbcommon is maintained in git at https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon

Patches are always welcome, and may be sent to either xorg-devel@lists.x.org or wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org

Bugs are also welcome, and may be reported either at Bugzilla https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=libxkbcommon or Github https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues
