            Bug ID: 364943
           Summary: Create system keyboard layouts with ktouch
           Product: ktouch
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: sebastiangottfried@web.de
          Reporter: caipora@fastmail.fm

The KDE Typewriting Trainer has a keyboard layout editor which apparently is
the only fully functional current GUI for creating layouts on Linux as a whole.
I was almost finishing editing my layout when I realized that it exports the
file as a custom .xml format, which can't be used by system.

If it allowed us to export the created custom layouts as a system layout for
all programs, it'd be a perfect solution for people who need that. There are
several forum threads on the web by people requesting an alternative to
Microsoft Keyboard Creator, but the only options on Linux are to use a buggy
ancient GUI that is no longer maintained
(https://github.com/simos/keyboardlayouteditor) or to edit complex
configuration files that require you to look up the Unicode key points or
entity names for all characters you need, instead of just typing them.

Reproducible: Always
