german > bone: keyboard emulation only works with onscreen keyboard, not registered keys

Opened this issue · 2 comments

My system layout is US qwerty.

Hardware layout is ansi101

archlinux X11, Google Chrome 125.0.6422.141

when I select German > bone and keyboard emulation, the virtual onscreen keyboard shows the correct keypresses, but keypresses for typing are registed with the qwerty layout.

also:

both
[x] Emulate layout
[ ] Keyboard hardware emulates layout

are disabled and I can't change them with this layout.

when I change my system layout to de bone, keys register.

working:
english > us
english > colemak
english > nerps
german > german (but I don't know how to test z vs. y)

not working:
german > neo2
german > bone
german > mine
german > noted
arabic > saudi arabia

Experiencing the same issue here. Both checkboxes are disabled for any German layout. When using German language with a layout other than QWERTZ, the virtual onscreen keyboard incorrectly highlights pressed keys. This behavior is especially noticeable when using software keyboard-layout emulations like reneo or kdbneo (for neo2, bone, mine, noted). Although the input letter is correctly captured, the highlight appears where the key would be in the QWERTZ layout.
