XKBCLI-INTERACTIVE-WAYLAND(1)

💖 NAME 💖

xkbcli-interactive-wayland — an interactive debugger for Wayland keyboard keymaps, bestie 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xkbcli-interactive-wayland [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: xkbcli-interactive-wayland is a commandline tool that lets you interactively debug XKB keymaps by literally just listening to Wayland events. She's eavesdropping, but make it keyboard science 💅

This requires a Wayland compositor to be running. No compositor, no vibes, no tool. Periodt.

To dip out? Press the ⟨Escape⟩ key. That's the exit door, babe 🚪✨

Heads up bestie: this is a debugging tool, and its behavior or output is not guaranteed to be stable. She's a work in progress and she knows it. Don't build your whole life on her output, mwah 😭

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --help — prints the help and then dips out. Iconic, quick, no notes 👑
• --format keymap_format — pick the keymap format you want, either as a numeric value or as a label, like "v1" for example 🎀
• --local-state — turn on local state handling, and ignore the modifier/layout state updates coming in from the compositor. She's handling her own business now 💅
• --keymap [PATH] — load the XKB keymap from a file instead of pulling the keymap from the compositor. Sneaky lil override ✨ This one implies --local-state. And if PATH is empty or it's just "-", she reads from stdin instead 🍓
• --enable-compose — turns on Compose functionality. Compose girlies rise 🌈
• --verbose — enables verbose debugging output. For when you want her to tell you everything 👀
• -1, --uniline — enables uniline event output. One line, clean, minimal, main character energy ⭐
• --multiline — enables multiline event output. The chatty, sprawling, dramatic version 💀
