So it seems that hacks like [0] are impossible here. Is this a limitation of protocol or just this compositor (and/or wlroots library)?

- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoNo, a very similar setup is possible depending on the compositor. wlroots enables this. The Wayland protocol only exposes up to one keyboard per seat to the client, but wlroots lets you pass input to seats in any manner you choose. In sway you can have multiple keyboards with multiple layouts and we swap them out whenever you start typing on a different keyboard.
