What do you mean by "out of the box"? |

Are you taking about how qtile is packaged for distros? |

No, not really. Was hoping to get qtile to work "natively" in wayland. I
remember that the default option is X11, right?

I suspect I'm not quite understanding your question. It's not really that qtile runs in Wayland as qtile is the Wayland server and compositor. |

Yes, ofc, but first you have to create a Wayland session file. That's not
the case on X11, you simply install qtile and you're done with the
system-wide configs.
Hope I'm being a bit more clear.

We provide a wayland session file in the repo (https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/master/resources/qtile-wayland.desktop). There's nothing more that we can really do. It's for users/packagers to install that file. |

Yes! I somehow missed that file 😊. Thank you so much for your ongoing
patience.

ear Sir,
I sincerely hope I am not abusing your time and patience.
I am writing to you again to seek help with the following issue. Looked
through various forums, open a discussion thread, even tried AI solutions.
Nothing seems to work, though. Here's the situation:
wl_input_rules = {
"type:keyboard": InputConfig(
kb_layout="us,us,ro", kb_variant=",intl,std",
kb_options="grp:alt_shift_toggle"
),
}
How do I get the current kb layout displayed in a widget? KeyboardLayout()
seems to work (rather nicely) under X11.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.

It's not that hard to configure it for wayland (barring the keyboard layouts/languages), but would be nice to have this option out of the box.
