SUMMARY The keyboard layouts are not applied to PLM with the "Apply Plasma settings", leaving PLM with no way to effortlessly set the keyboard layouts. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a bunch of custom keyboard layouts 2. "Apply Plasma Settings" on PLM's kcm 3. Logout OBSERVED RESULT No custom keyboard layouts added and no way to change them from the KCM EXPECTED RESULT Either layouts should be inherited or the kcm should provide a way to manage the keyboard layouts SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0 Qt Version: 6.10.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you need a workaround it should parse global xkb config or fallback to 'localectl set-keymap' But we should probably sync kxkbrc
