<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px; color: #74777D;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">I will need a little bit of help to understand what type of key event should be used and I don't remember where I got the information it expects codes defined from linux/input-event-codes.h (I copied it from the previous review)</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">Anyway, for the remote desktop portal, we will need to support both keysym and keycodes [1].</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">[1] - <a href="https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.impl.portal.RemoteDesktop.xml#L226" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.impl.portal.RemoteDesktop.xml#L226</a></p></div></div>
<div style="margin: 8px 0; padding: 0 12px;"><p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">We had a big discussion on this last kwin sprint.</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">There's value in keycodes, values in keysyms depending on the use case. Especially if the remote sender has a different keymap.. Potentially some things don't even map.</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">The protocol could do with a line that the code is related to the keymap set on the client's seat. (currently kwin only really supports one)</p>
<hr class="remarkup-hr" />
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">The "most technically correct" if for fake input to send a keymap, then us to forward that keymap to clients, then pass that keycode on the relevant fake keyboard.</p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 8px;">IMHO we can do this for now and iterate a year from now.<br />
Potentially using virtual_keyboard_unstable_v1 which is basically fully maps wl_keyboard in reverse.</p></div></div></div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R127 KWayland</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D23766">https://phabricator.kde.org/D23766</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>jgrulich, davidedmundson, apol, Plasma, romangg<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, GB_2, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
