Description

Listens for X Keyboard Extension events and can run configured actions when keyboard-state changes occur. It is useful in specialized X11 setups that react to layout, indicator, or keyboard events outside a full desktop environment.

Most users do not need it unless a session script or accessibility workflow explicitly relies on XKB event handling. Actions should be configured carefully because they can run commands in response to input-state changes.
