What does KDE use for the keymapping options under the advanced keyboard settings? I’m a bit confused because there doesn’t seem to be any keymapping software I’m familiar with preinstalled.
Answer: xkb. I was just confused by the name into thinking it wouldn’t work with wayland 
Keyd and KMonad would be the top two choices for keymapping - can also make layers 'n stuff.
More specifically:
- The options come from the standard layout database, xkeyboard-config (repo)
- XKB can refer to manay things. See the introduction to XKB for further info.
- You can customize the layout and options, see XKB user configuration
There is also Kanata.
