💅 xkbcli-interactive-x11 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual — yeah, the classic man page vibe, but make it ✨cute✨. Sit down, grab a boba, and let's talk about the interactive debugger for X Keyboard keymaps. 🎀

NAME 🦋

xkbcli-interactive-x11 — interactive debugger for X Keyboard keymaps

like, it literally debugs your XKB keymaps. in real time. no cap.

---

SYNOPSIS ✨

xkbcli-interactive-x11 [options]

that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

---

DESCRIPTION 🌸

So xkbcli-interactive-x11 is a commandline tool that lets you interactively debug XKB keymaps by listening to X11 events. she's nosy, she's observant, she's listening. 💖

heads up: this requires an X server to be running. no X server, no vibes. 🫶

Press the ⟨Escape⟩ key to exit. yes queen, one lil keypress and you're out. slay. 🧚

⚠️ lowkey important: this is a debugging tool, and its behavior or output is not guaranteed to be stable. so don't build your whole personality on it, bestie. it's giving "works on my machine" energy. 💀

Now, the options — here's the whole menu, no skips, no cuts:

• --help — Print help and exit. the classic. the moment of clarity. 🙈
• --local-state — Enable local state handling and ignore modifiers/layouts state updates from the X11 server. she said "I'll handle this myself, thanks." 💅
• --keymap [PATH] — Load the XKB keymap from a file instead of the keymap from the compositor. It implies --local-state . If PATH is empty or “-”, read the stdin. (yes, the dash means stdin, and yes that's a whole vibe. 🍓)
• --format keymap_format — Specify the keymap format (numeric or label, e.g. “v1”). numbers or names, pick your fighter. ⭐
• --enable-compose — Enable Compose functionality. for all your fancy composed characters. ✨
• --verbose — Enable verbose debugging output. she's not just talking, she's over-sharing. 😭
• -1, --uniline — Enable uniline event output. one line. compact. minimal. clean girl aesthetic. 🌈
• --multiline — Enable multiline event output. the opposite. she's expressive. 💜
