Marc Durdin 808b6557d6 maint(common): use cpp_std=c++17 in meson project default_options 
We attempted to set the C++ version in standard.meson.build, but this
does not work well as the option name varies by platform, and it also
triggers a warning in meson. This fix moves the setting into each
meson.build project() default_options. As there are only a handful
of these, the maintenance burden is not high.

keyman-system-service

A DBus system service that allows to access /dev/input/* devices to toggle capslock and perform other keyboard related actions. This is required when running under Wayland, but also used with X11.

See https://0pointer.net/blog/the-new-sd-bus-api-of-systemd.html, https://stackoverflow.com/a/44281937, https://github.com/chiehmin/gdbus_test/blob/master/server.c, https://aleksander.es/data/GNOMEASIA2014%20-%20Introduction%20to%20DBus.pdf.

Notes

  • If we need to limit access to the interface to only Keyman, we can use polkit which allows to add a rule with an action that checks for the program.

  • to see the log file

    journalctl -f -u systemd-keyman

  • to monitor method calls

    sudo busctl monitor com.keyman.SystemService1
