   I do use an ASCII layout, but I have to switch between Russian and ASCII (US English for me). What I was talking about is maybe allowing scancodes or some solution that is completely keyboard layout agnostic.

   Scancodes should work on any keyboard, or at least any HID compliant one.

   I wonder if there's a way to force a different keyboard layout for a

   daemon, which switches the keyboard layout based on the foreground
   window?

   I know at least GNOME can do this, as well as Windows.

   However, in GNOME's case it may be necessary for the application to support it. Have not tried it it works for mpv.

   Sorry for lagging behind, I ended up just adding mappings for Cyrillic
   chars and doing some KWin magic to make sure IMEs stay off with mpv. Still
   this is a thing that should be considered, IMHO, because setting the
   hotkeys twice (or more) is tedious and not immediately obvious. I'll try to
   put together a scancode based patch in a few days/weeks/when I have time.

   K900, does any of this help?

    Yeah, that's the main problem I've run into. Also had some fun with trying
    to get mpv to at least build with the Android NDK, but it seems a no-go for
    now.

    Looking at it myself, it didn't seem easy (you'd have to drag around both
    keycode and scancode or so), but I'm looking forward to your patch.

    Bionic isn't really broken, it doesn't have some stuff glibc has, but
    someone could get mplayer running on it without too much problems a while
    ago, and I haven't run into too many breakages right now. The main problem
    is going to be the UI though.

    Since I don't have any Android device, I never tested if it works on
    Android. Since Android's libc is completely broken from what I hear, I can
    see problems cropping up. Also, it's likely that the only VO that works on
    Android is vo_sdl (requires SDL 1.3/2.0).

    Ouch. I think the spam filter ate the previous email. I've set it up with
    another map for Cyrillic characters for now, so that (obviously) works.
    Haven't worked on the patch at all, don't have any free time now...

    Is there anyway to script keyboard layout change after launching MPV? That would be most convenient way to deal with it at least for Windows which has keyboard layout state for each program (basically).

    I made workaround for my usecase
    This is python script to patch default input.conf values

    input_bindings = """"""  # paste here from https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/etc/input.conf
    
    eng = """~QWERTYUIOP{}ASDFGHJKL:"ZXCVBNM<>?`qwertyuiop[]asdfghjkl;"zxcvbnm,./"""
    rus = """ЁЙЦУКЕНГШЩЗХЪФЫВАПРОЛДЖЭЯЧСМИТЬБЮ,ёйцукенгшщзхъфывапролджэячсмитьбю."""
    for line in input_bindings.splitlines():
        if not line.startswith("#"):
            continue
        keybind, *rest = line.split(" ", 1)
        if keybind == "#":
            continue
        keybind = keybind[1:]
        keys = keybind.split("+")
        new_keys = [key.translate(key.maketrans(eng, rus)) if len(key) == 1 else key for key in keys]
        if new_keys == keys:
            continue
        print("+".join(new_keys), next(iter(rest), ""))
