           Summary: Add setting to set/force a specific layout for specific
                    programs
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: keyboard_layout
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: linux at bernd-steinhauser.de


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

First, this is sort of possible, when one sets, that the keyboard layout should
be changed on a per-application basis.

But that is not exactly what I want.

The problem is, that I'm using a custom keyboard layout ( www.neo-layout.org
for completeness ) which changes a lot of keys on the keyboard.
Since some applications are made explicitly for a specific keyboard layout
(examples include mplayer or games like cannonball), or won't work with
specific custom layouts (for example VirtualBox), I need to change the layout
for these applications.
In my opinion, it would be best to introduce a setting for the keyboard layout
in the "Specific settings for this window/program" menu, where one can also
set, force a specific size or other properties.

This way it would be possible to set the layout for a program, even if one uses
doesn't want to use the per-application switching rule for the keyboard layout.
