Feature Description

I'd like it so these fields:

input {
    keyboard {
        xkb {
+           // Specifically the layout section!
+           // layout "us"
            // variant "colemak_dh_ortho"
            // options "compose:ralt,ctrl:nocaps"
            // model ""
            // rules ""
            // file "~/.config/keymap.xkb"
        }
    }
}

Would be modifiable via a dank material settings page or similar.

Use Case

This has been kind of a reocurring pain point I've noticed with DMS/Zirconium users, keyboard configuration on the niri level is only possible via the niri configuration file instead of a menu under "Keyboard Input" or whatever.

Proposed Solution

• Making a new tab for "Input"?
• Maybe repurposing the "Locale" one to "Input"?

• Then on the tab itself you can use localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts (or preferrably a dbus call for this) to get all the keyboard layouts available and make a huge list based on it maybe?

Alternatives/Existing Solutions

Whatever GNOME and KDE are doing, they did it right - I don't really see people complaining there
