KDE's new distro won't expose the Xorg session

OK... so what's the best way to select a different keymap in Wayland? Searching around I see mentions of setting a keymap in config.h and recompiling a compositor.. or 'modifying the system XKB database in /usr/share/X11/xkb' ... or this tool https://github.com/xremap/xremap (have not tried it myself).

I need not just to tweak one or two keys, but to set a entire alt keymap (us,apl). and it has to be changeable on the fly, not statically, via AltGr or other user-defineable key.

I'd like to try KDE again, but last time I tried with wayland the keymap stuff seemed wonky to me.

- Sure, KDE can do this for a while now:
  
  Ah, I can try that then, thank you!
