Hi all!
How can I change the xkb map/keyboard layout / etc. in plasma5 + kwin +
wayland? I was able to configure it in sway+wayland right away (see:
https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/c90640879bb3f7aeddd4344125f88aa6b236a815/shlomif-settings/sway/sway/config#L228
) and I spent several hours trying to do the same in plasma5 + wayland to no
avail.
```
[shlomif at localhost ~]$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us-acentos
X11 Layout: us,il
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: ,lyx
X11 Options: compose:ralt,grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
[shlomif at localhost ~]$
```
(after a reboot)
```
[shlomif at localhost ~]$ cat .config/kxkbrc
[Layout]
DisplayNames=,
LayoutList=us,il(lyx)
LayoutLoopCount=-1
Model=
ResetOldOptions=false
ShowFlag=false
ShowLabel=true
ShowLayoutIndicator=true
ShowSingle=false
SwitchMode=Global
Use=true
[shlomif at localhost ~]$
```
tried this too:
```
#! /bin/sh
#
# apply-hebrew-keymap-for-wayland.sh

localectl set-x11-keymap \
'us,il' \
'pc105' \
",lyx" \
"compose:ralt,grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" \
```
also tried the ibus applet.
The keyboard works fine in plasma5 + x11 + startx.
I am using:
```
System:
Host: fedora Kernel: 5.9.8-200.fc33.x86_64 x86_64 bits: 64

```
I tried searching the web using duckduckgo and google and didn't find anything.
Also tried asking on several freenode chatrooms.
What should I do? I'll be content with the keyboard configuration being
assigned at plasma5's session startup and not changeable at runtime.
Note that I'd prefer a solution where there is some code (in Python/etc.) to
mutate some ~/.config/k* files, so I'll be able to run it without a manual GUI
process.
Regards,
Shlomi
