keyboard layout on wayland

Hi, i have an installation of archlinux with Hyprland and waybar.

in hyprland.conf i have

input {
    kb_layout = us,it
    kb_variant = intl
    kb_model = pc105
    kb_options =
    kb_rules =
    follow_mouse = 1
    touchpad {
        natural_scroll = false
    }
    sensitivity = 0 # -1.0 - 1.0, 0 means no modification.
}

but i` m not able to digit accents pressing the backtick.

How can i resolve this?

Thanks!!!

Re: keyboard layout on wayland

It may be possible to tweak the keyboard definition to get it right, but that's beyond me

Hyprland has quite a powerful bind feature that more than likely can fix this.

Also, there's a number of input remap utilities that work with Wayland, that also may be useful (even one with a GUI )

Re: keyboard layout on wayland

us intl has

key <TLDE> { [dead_grave, dead_tilde,         grave,       asciitilde ] };

but basic italian has

key <BKSL>	{ [    ugrave,    section,   dead_grave,   dead_breve ] };

Depending on which layout is active you'l have to use AltGr+ù for a dead grave accent.

Did you try the behavior w/ only one layout?
What does the backtick do otherwise? Immediately print a backtick?
