We are stuck with it :( Last time I checked, KDE isn't any better.
With xmodmap, I was able to adjust the layout as needed. With
wayland, I can't do that anymore and I'm stuck with an US layout ---
which my keyboard fortunately physically has --- because some keys on
German keyboards are so badly placed and configured that I need to be
able to change the layout if want to use a German keyboard with a
German layout.
It's one of these basic things we shouldn't need to have any trouble
at all with, and it really pisses me off.
All the developers are proabably Americans and never come across this
problem. Why else won't they let us change the keyobard layout as we
need to.
