Keyboard layout problem

Hello,

From what I see here: https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/libs/openFrameworks/app/ofAppEGLWindow.cpp#L1388

It seems that when creating a ofAppELGWindow the keyboard event directly rely on /dev/input/eventX which is not good since /dev/input/eventX seems to not take locale in account.

I tried on my dev computer AND on the RPi the following: ⁠⁠⁠⁠evtest /dev/input/eventX and I do receive the "q" keycode when I press "a".

So for me, using /dev/input/eventX directly to detect key press is unreliable because it doesn't take in account my locale.

What could be a workaround? Because for me right now, it seems we cannot create an OF app running on the RPi with a different keyboard layout than the one "used" while listening to /dev/input/eventX, and that would be a major issue.

Regards

Start with libs/openFrameworks/app/ofAppEGLWindow.cpp around line 1388 and reproduce the mismatch using evtest on /dev/input/eventX, comparing the reported keycode with the configured keyboard layout. Trace how the ofAppEGLWindow keyboard event is produced and determine whether the issue can be fixed or needs a documented workaround for Raspberry Pi. Done means the expected layout is handled reliably or the limitation and workaround are clearly documented.
