Please tell me, is it possible to display the current keyboard layout using xkbcomp on Alpine Linux?
Alpine Linux is installed. I use Wayland with [Wayfire compositor](https://wayfire.org/) installed. I need to get data about the current keyboard layout in the console. There is only
xkbcomp
. There is also gsettings
. Keyboard layout switching is implemented using Wayfire in the wayfire.ini
file in the [input section](https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/wiki/Configuration#input) . However, Wayfire does not have the ability to transfer information about the current layout. That is why I am looking for a way to do this.
As a result of gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
, I get @a(ss) []
.
setxkbmap
, gkbd-keyboard-display
, xkeycaps
, xkbprint
, xset
, localectl
not available.
And I would like to clarify that I am interested in the language layout.
