We only support configuration with a single keyboard mapping, we need to detect and provide an interface to configure multiple keyboards

Would it be possible to use results from xinput list and get all available keyboards from there itself ?

i did write the codes in c++ to read content from /dev/input/event0 or any interface for that matter.and xinput to get list of all keyboard interfaces

Fine. Edit it on your end and we review the code. Remember that master and 0.4.x use different stage of code. You might need to backport your master commit to our stable branch ...

hi please checkout this code . it could be used to find the device name and its file path. https://gist.github.com/cab3b620b7cfacbe3b15 . Now the problem i am facing is i am not too comfortable with Qt , so can you help me out with how to integrate this in the existing codebase. After this i was thinking in the lines of using setxkbmap to ket the keyboard map for each one diffrently.
