I know I'm late to the party, but as I'm rebasing surface-based WM on top of silo 041 I couldn't help frowning when I saw that.

This kind of imperative work doesn't belong to QML. Can't the surface have a property that takes the full string and does any and all parsing needed behind the scenes?

Something like that:

"""
SurfaceContainer {
    id: root
    property string keymap
    Binding {
        target: surface
        property: "keymap"
        value: root.keymap
    }
}
