the bespoke parser was a horrendous drain on the build time of
plasma-desktop due to recursive templates.
it's been replaced with a new standalone binary that previews any
model/layout/variant/options combination as requested and a qtquick UI
which simplifies the actual rendering substantially.
the new code is better in that it:
- builds in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the power use
- renders complex models (such as the tm2020 or the kinesis) correctly
- because it entirely relies on xkb to figure out keysyms belonging to
a given key, it's layout representation is not only substantially more
complete it also correctly obeys options like eurosign:2
- renders numlock and the like (not that this is in fact very useful ^^)
- is following the system palette for coloring
- the paint code should be easier to graps and more robust because xkb
provides completely consistent geometry and layout data meaning we can
model this verbatim in qtquick and then scale the entire
keyboard to a useful size
- this is now a standalone application so potential input method KCMs
can opt to use it (e.g. fcitx)
