💅 x2gosetkeyboard — the X2Go Server Tool (PyHoca) glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so this is x2gosetkeyboard(8) and she's the one who lets your server-side keyboard settings get updated when X2Go Client says so 🎹🦋 like she's literally the messenger between your client's keyboard vibes and your session. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

x2gosetkeyboard — the lil icon who allows server-side Keyboard Setting Updates issued by X2Go Client 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

x2gosetkeyboard

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, she just goes 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea ☕ — x2gosetkeyboard goes looking for a 'keyboard' file in the X2Go session directory, and then she introspects the X2Go session keyboard settings that the client side asked for. like she's reading your keyboard's diary and then making it real 🔮

and if there's no 'keyboard' file chillin' in the X2Go session directory? literally nothing happens. no error, no drama, no raised anything. she just shrugs and moves on 🙈 (this is the "no error will be raised" part, bestie — it's a feature, not a bug)

💀 RETURN VALUES 💀

  • if x2gosetkeyboard successfully sets the session's keyboard parameters → exit code 0 comes home with her 🫶
  • also, if the file ${HOME}/.x2go/C-${X2GO_SESSION}/keyboard is not presented at the expected location → you still get a zero exit code. she's chill like that 😌
  • but if the command fails on its way? then the exit code of the failing command is what gets returned. so you'll know exactly who tripped 🫠

🦋 FILES 🦋

${HOME}/.x2go/C-${X2GO_SESSION}/keyboard

this is the one. the whole file. the moment. the main character 📁✨
