Nice "Vendor Propaganda" subheading.

There seems to be a new required camss property in linux-next. I'll need to apply the patch that adds it, and update my own patch.

The merge conflicts with SDM845 are inconvenient to resolve, so let's do things differently next time. https://gitlab.com/sdm670-mainline/linux-patches/-/commit/7b696b8b42466153bf646a7ecd9e1d3433cd3a0a

I received a lot of help from Matrix and the wiki. Some work for #sdm845 and an early commit for the Pixel 3 also played a role.

This is the Unfettered Keyboard, my newly released on-screen keyboard (re-)written in #Rust for #linuxmobile. It takes heavy inspiration from the Unexpected Keyboard for Android (even using the same XML layout format) and lets you type at least 69 characters on the default layout without switching. Not shown is support for Ctrl+Shift keyboard shortcuts with the two levels of the keymap.

It seems KDE already migrated to the input-method-unstable-v1 Wayland protocol.

I couldn't empirically confirm this yet. Hopefully, this protocol is all that Plasma needs to boot.

I tried looking into how to port my still-WIP on-screen keyboard to KDE. It doesn't implement the Wayland protocols for Phosh (which allow custom keymaps using any XKB key symbol), but there seems to be a D-Bus API (Maliit framework) using Qt6 key codes instead. Most U+100 - U+10FFFF characters need to be sent as text and not as a key.
https://github.com/maliit/framework/blob/be11b2b51c0e1dbb4e5e0a88a18a82597ea428c4/input-context/minputcontext.cpp#L576
So I'd have to sacrifice fun keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + ‰:
