Description
I was looking at whether I could get vscode running on wayland without xwayland (x11 support). It seems this library is required by vscode and uses X11 on linux. Could the linux code be ported to use something like xkbcommon (I'm not sure if this is the right replacement)? How hard do you think it'd be?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the library's Linux code to understand its current X11 dependency and keyboard-layout behavior. The work is done when the Linux implementation supports Wayland without Xwayland while preserving the module's existing OS keyboard functionality.
