Eberhard Beilharz 2a19a2fb12 chore(linux): Fix coverage report creation for keyman-system-service Since keyman-system-service is a dependency of ibus-keyman it gets build when ibus-keyman gets build. However, in that case the `--coverage` flag doesn't get passed through in which case the `coverage-html` target is missing from ninja. This change fixes this problem by checking if ninja has the `coverage-html` target. If not we remove the output directory which causes the configure action to run again with the `--coverage` option.		2023-10-18 10:32:41 +02:00

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.
