Unify key handling code on linux

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      There are way too much duplicated code, e.g. ::keysymToQtKey():

      QWaylandXkb::keysymToQtKey in qtwayland/src/shared/qwaylandxkb.cpp
QLibInputKeyboard::keysymToQtKey in qtbase/src/platformsupport/input/libinput/qlibinputkeyboard.cpp
And the originating source code QXcbKeyboard::keysymToQtKey in qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/qxcbkeyboard.cpp

      And other code that uses libxkbcommon (e.g. for shortcut handling, compose key input) could benefit from sharing. All this should be cleaned up and shared.
