Up to the compositor.

Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Exactly my point! Right there. Thanks.


What’s your point? You didn’t make it.

Before you said that your point was that people tell you you aren’t supposed to do those things. But you are able to remap your keys.

Remapping keys has been possible in Wayland for quite a while in any compositor I used. (KDE, Gnome, Sway)


Not arbitrary remapping of any key.
