Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Keyboard layout displaying/switching for Wayfire and wf-panel-pi

Have applied patch from this repo to 0.75 version and built it as a deb-package for my uConsole CM4 device with Raspbian installed. Works flawlessly. Would like to see this plugin/applet merged into the origin source.
0.75? I think the last version I merged was 0.74. This thing changes versions daily... Anyway, nice to hear it works for you as it does for me. As to your request for merging into the origin repo, I have made a Pull Request with my branch containing the add-on code (https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/wf-panel-pi/pull/13). However, the maintainer is not willing to merge it, apparently for good reasons. Here is his reply.
We’re going to be moving away from wayfire as our compositor in the next few months. As this PR depends on a wayfire plugin offering functionality which is not available in labwc, our new compositor, I’m sorry, but this PR will not work with it and hence will not be merged.
I guess I will have to wait until the pivot to labwc (FYI, an even more basic compositor, compared to wayfire) is actually made in a few months, then re-write a plugin like wayfire-kbdd-plugin for labwc, and roll the dice again. If I feel like it, I might just as well work on such a plugin in parallel, so that I have it ready right when the switch is made. Until then, I am afraid the only viable way is for me to sync my fork with the new versions as often as I can, and for anyone else to recompile from my source.

Thanks again for your support!
