Bug ID: 396013
Summary: Keyboard layout limit of 8 is too low
Product: kxkb
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
Hello. Currently using Kubuntu Bionic with KDE Frameworks 5.44, Plasma 5.12 LTS
and KDE Applications 17.12.3.
Even since Kubuntu Trusty using KDE 4.13.x, the number of maximum keyboard
layouts in the KDE keyboard layout settings has been 8 and trying to add a new
layout after that produces the error: "Only up to 8 keyboard layouts are
supported".
Frankly I don't see the reason for this artificial limitation. I myself know
seven Indian scripts: Tamil, Devanagari, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Grantha
and Brahmi and do need to input all of them at one time or another. I also have
a separate layout for the emoji I use. Which leaves me no space for even
QWERTY, let alone my preferred alternate Latin layout Workman.
I do not see the need for an upper limit on the number of layouts. Is there any
technical reason why there needs to be such a limit?
