I've been looking through the xkbcommon API documentation[1] and the
Wayland protocol docs and specs for xdg_shell [2][3] to learn about
what to do when keymaps change. It's possible I missed something in
the docs somewhere and if so I'd greatly appreciate a reference to
where else I ought to look.
The questions I'm trying to find an answer for:
What should the client do with the xkb_state when a new keymap gets
sent to the client after an initial keymap was used to create the
xkb_state?
Should the client throw away the xkb_state entirely and create a new
one with the new keymap? Or would that cause xkb_state to, from the
user's perspective, get horrifically out of sync?
Thanks in advance for your time!
Cheers,
