[13:58] <akiva-thinkpad> Is mir replacing x11 keyboard layouts?
[13:58] <akiva-thinkpad> I am wanting to create my own so...
[16:40] <racarr> akiva-thinkpad: No its using XKB keymap format
[16:40] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, thanks
[16:41] <racarr> :)
[16:41] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, is geometry being used in virtual keyboards?
[16:42] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, or is it being done manually with qml?
[16:44] <racarr> akiva-thinkpad: I don't understand, sorry. Which geometry?
[16:45] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, in the xkb directory, there is a folder called "geometry"
[16:45] <akiva-thinkpad> I understand its for external programs to use to say, draw the perculiar shape of the enter key on a thinkpad
[16:45] <akiva-thinkpad> not a hundred percent sure
[16:46] <racarr> akiva-thinkpad: Ah I see, yeah looks like you are right...
[16:46] <racarr> akiva-thinkpad: We are not using that yet/have any particular plans to use it...
[16:46] <racarr> I mean I guess Mir doesnt have to support it
[16:47] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, yah that is right
[16:47] <racarr> if you know what the keymap is
[16:47] <akiva-thinkpad> my question was more directed towards the ubuntu touch keyboard
[16:47] <racarr> and really want it I guess you can open the geometry file, etc with libxkb
[16:47] <racarr> ah
[16:47] <racarr> akiva-thinkpad: So! In this case Mir input isnt really being used at all
[16:48] <racarr> well I mean its used for clicking on the keyboard haha
[16:48] <racarr> but the keyboard and the app
[16:48] <racarr> use a DBus side channel
[16:48] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, thank you for your expertise
[16:48] <akiva-thinkpad> !cookie | racarr
[16:49] <akiva-thinkpad> anyways I am glad to hear that my custom layout will be transferable to mir.
[16:49] <racarr> aha thankyou :)
[16:49] <racarr> yes! should be!
[16:49] <akiva-thinkpad> !thanks | racarr
[16:49] <racarr> for touch I guess it would require working with http://web.archive.org/web/20140105175716/https://wiki.maliit.org/Documentation
[16:49] <racarr> er...not sure how I ended up with an archive.org link
[16:50] <akiva-thinkpad> heh; great site
[16:50]  * akiva-thinkpad gets back to writing the tutorial
[16:51] <racarr> *waves*
[16:56] <racarr> is it evil to call a class VsyncSink?
[17:38] <akiva-thinkpad> heh
[17:38] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, is mir being programmed in go?
[18:23] <racarr> akiva-thinkpad: Nah :) C++
[18:23] <akiva-thinkpad> racarr, that would have been interesting if it was. I guess though they did branch it from android so that makes sense.
