There's a lot of work nowadays towards replacing the X11 infrastructure. Notably, wayland intends to replace some of the functionality that X.Org now provides, and it uses libxkbcommon to replace the X11 XKB.h keyboard event parsing code (actually it is not a dependency, but it is the de facto standard). I think it would be great if haskell supports these new libraries as soon as they are being used, which is why I wrote haskell FFI bindings for libxkbcommon. Partly because I am not exactly an experienced haskell developer, and partly because I am unsure how users will use libxkbcommon, at this point haskell-xkbcommon is rather thin. I intend to add a layer of code that makes this look more haskelly based on your feedback. Hence, feedback is MOST welcome in any area, be it code style, documentation, or API preferences. I did not upload haskell-xkbcommon to hackage yet - should I at this stage? https://github.com/tulcod/haskell-xkbcommon PS: If this turns out to be a success, I'd like to develop wayland bindings as well, so if you have anything to say about that feel free to contact me.
