keyman-system-service

A DBus system service that allows to access /dev/input/* devices to toggle capslock and perform other keyboard related actions when running under Wayland.

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
