📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QKbdDriverPlugin — the Qt/Embedded keyboard driver plugin glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the QKbdDriverPlugin(3qt) page, straight out of the Qt 3qt manual section. this is the abstract base situation for Qt/Embedded keyboard driver plugins, and honestly? it's giving blueprint energy. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

QKbdDriverPlugin — the abstract base for Qt/Embedded keyboard driver plugins. yes, it's the parent class. it's the momager. everything else is a subclass trying to make it proud 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qkbddriverplugin_qws.h>

✨ Public Members ✨

QKbdDriverPlugin ()
~QKbdDriverPlugin ()
virtual QStringList keys () const = 0
virtual QWSKeyboardHandler * create ( const QString & driver, const
    QString & device ) = 0

two of those are pure virtual, meaning they're marked = 0, meaning you literally cannot skip them. the compiler will simply not let you be lazy. periodt 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the QKbdDriverPlugin class provides an abstract base for Qt/Embedded keyboard driver plugins. it's the whole foundation, the vibe-setter, the main character 🫶

the keyboard driver plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom keyboard drivers. simple! friendly! lowkey iconic!

writing a keyboard driver plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions keys() and create(), and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. that's the recipe, no cap — three steps and you're slaying 🧚

see the Plugins documentation for details, because there are details and you should read them.

💜 this class is only available in Qt/Embedded. if you're not in Qt/Embedded, this is not your moment, bestie.

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QKbdDriverPlugin::QKbdDriverPlugin ()

Constructs a keyboard driver plugin. and like… you don't call this yourself, okay? this is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. the macro handles it. let it cook 🙈

QKbdDriverPlugin::~QKbdDriverPlugin ()

Destroys the keyboard driver plugin. bye bestie, it was real 🌈

you never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used. so like, don't try to manage it yourself, that's not the assignment 💅

QWSKeyboardHandler * QKbdDriverPlugin::create ( const QString & driver, const QString & device ) [pure virtual]

Creates a driver matching the type specified by driver and device.

See also: keys().

QStringList QKbdDriverPlugin::keys () const [pure virtual]

Returns the list of keyboard drivers this plugin supports. it's the plugin's little resumé, fr fr ✨

See also: create().
