This enables users to configure different layouts and settings for individual keyboards and mice by device name. For example, you can now have one keyboard with a US layout and another with US+RU layouts, with automatic XKB switching when typing on different devices. Changes: - Add per-device keyboard layout configuration support - Add per-device mouse settings configuration - Implement automatic XKB switching based on active keyboard device - Refactor Keyboard and Mouse types to support multiple device configs - Add Keyboards and Mice collection types with device name lookup - Update documentation with per-device configuration examples - Save numlock state per keyboard (this may look weird as the LED follow the global state but as soon as you type on a keyboard with numlock disabled the LED shuts off) Device names are matched case-insensitively from libinput (use `sudo libinput list-devices` to find device names). This addresses issue YaLTeR#371 Signed-off-by: Arthur Heymans <[email protected]>

For non-keyboard there's already #1856 which has already been reviewed by myself and several others |

I had this on top of that change but I saw there were not too many conflicts so I had a go at rebasing it against the main branch. |
