Tips
----
* Before trying out the BigBag, you may want to find out what your current XKB settings are. One way of seeing what you use is `setxkbmap -v 9`.
- - To get the standard US default layout back, you can use `setkb 4n` for ANSI keyboards (`5n` for ISO). What you want may depend on your locale.
+ - To get the standard US default layout back, you can use `setkb 4n` for ANSI keyboards; `5n` for ISO. What you want depends on your locale.
+ - Generally, use `setkb 4n/5n [loc [var]]` to get back your locale layout/model. The `[var]` is for variant; omit it for the default/basic one.
* Due to complaints from new users that Extend on F# keys interferes with `Ctrl+Alt+F#` TTY shortcuts, FKey Extend is now disabled by default.
- - You can enable FKey Extend by activating the [include "extend(lv5_fk)"][BB-ExtFK] bit (delete the trailing slashes) in the `symbols/extend` file.
- - If you had already installed the BigBag you must either edit the file in its target X11 directory, or edit and then reinstall the files.
- - In theory, we could make such shortcuts part of Extend so you can have both them and the Multimedia key shortcuts. I'll think about it.

-* Better instructions for Wayland

-* Lockable lv5 modifier, for users who want Extend-lock. Maybe Shift+Extend to lock it, or something?
- - It's possible today to have two switch-or-lock lv5 modifiers. But it seems wasteful to use up two keys.
-* Non-Fn-key Extend is now the default. Add a separate option for FKey Extend? Many new users struggled with this, or have weird FKey setups.
- - Add a FKey Extend option to misc? So people can activate `misc:extend` and `misc:extend_fk` separately.
-* Add colemak-dh to the colemak symbols file and the US locale? Both ISO, ANSI and Ortho.
-* Not all distros source `~/.bashrc` by default. Seems that `~/.xinitrc` is mostly used by xinit and not generally sourced?
- - What about `~/.xsession` or `~/.profile`? Seems to be mostly legacy; used by `startx`? It's messy.
- - Look in `/etc/X11/Xsession` to see how thing are run at startup?
- - But `~/.Xresources` seems like a good option (and is sourced by xinitrc too)?
- - Its format is different though. And it doesn't list keyboard layout as one of its intended purposes.
-* Add some easy way of returning to the old xkbmap setup? But how? Can't unset settings, so we'd have to store it somehow? Or just let them go to us/us?
- - Make a restore to default layout shortcut instead? It's only an alias for `setkb 4n/5n`. Maybe `resetkb 4/5`?
-* Transition many ###.xml changes to ###.extras.xml? Other Colemak locale variants reside there. But it's a mess: Many (such as Norwegian) are in the main file!
- - It might be nice to keep all the BigBag locales in one place though? Or not?
-* To get Extend with the currently active layout, use `setxkbmap -v 9 -option "" -option "misc:extend,lv5:caps_switch_lock,compose:menu"`.
- - The first `-option ""` clears any existing option settings, while the one with non-empty arguments add to existing options.
-* Add lv5:lalt_switch_lock for LALT-Extend.
-* Add compose:102? Inconsistent between ISO and ANSI, just add a pro-tip.
-* The Curl(DH) model implementation has to go as it may mess w/ QWERTY. Instead, I should use two Extend variants.
- - It also seems very hard for some newcomers to understand. So yes, I should have the Angle mod only and not CurlAngle models?
- - Also, matrix users want the V-D swap without an Angle mod! Another nail in the coffin for the Curl models.
- - Actually, should I make a NoModel CurlAngle layout for the model impaired? Vanilla, Curl(DH) and Curl(DH)Angle then. ... No?
- - First, just make Curl with D-V swap built in. Let the Extend Paste function be where it falls for now.
- - Separate Angle mods for Curl and non-Curl? Probably not, as it'll still get silly when using both QWERTY and Cmk-eD.
-* Check out the compose:102 option. This would be similar to what I've used in EPKL for Windows! It's also present in some other layouts.
-
-* Problems with Super+ shortcuts: https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/23#issuecomment-1027839924
-
-* A purge option in addition to restore for the install script? So backup dirs etc are removed and the xkb dir restored to original state.
-
-* Update xkb-data and then start testing on a Wayland system!
- - Use the [GitLab][XKBgitLb]/[GitHub][XKBgitHb] repo as that's the freshest there is.
-
-* A clarification by Peter Hutterer on the mystic .part files in the rules component:
- - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/327#note_1436334
- - The parts are numbered to get their sequence in the resulting files right. Only when there are differences, they start with base/evdev.
- - There are RMLVO (user interface) and KcCSGST (actual XKB) letter codes. The naming of those .part files is 1234-rmlvo-kccgst.part...
- - but with only the relevant bits. So, e.g., `0009-m_g.part` is the model to group mapping of the final rules file. `ml_s.part` is model + layout to symbols.
- - It seems that you can make layout commits by editing only the rules/base.xml (and symbols) file(s) though?
-
-* Echo the setxkbmap command when using setkb.sh, for ease of troubleshooting! Also make the script able to output the command for piping?
-* Add a model-less Colemak-CAWS for people who want to switch to QWERTY? Or instructions on how to setkb it? That's better, I think.
-* Problem: Using Google Spreadsheets, hitting Caps Lock (which is mapped to ISO_Level5_Shift) clears the current spreadsheet cell.
- - https://forum.colemak.com/topic/1438-dreymars-big-bag-of-keyboard-tricks-linuxxkb-files-included/p15/#p23838
- - This solves it by convincing Google Sheets that the Caps key is a Win key: `sudo setkeycodes 0x3a 125`
- - But it only works for built-in laptop keyboards and not USB/Bluetooth ones?
-* Is there a way to clear the LevelFive mod on all the Extend mappings by default? Or must I be more careful with each RedirectKey()?
- - Example: `Q -> Esc -> Caps` caused people trouble, as Ext+Q would act as Esc+Caps.
- - Possibly, finally make a new key type EIGHT_LEVEL_EXTEND with the action clearmods=LevelFive added to state 5-8? No, no actions.
- - In xkb/types/level5 under EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC I used `preserve[Shift] = Shift;`. We need the opposite here, to discard lvl5.
- - See for instance https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/input/XKB-Enhancing.html
- - "Usually, all modifiers introduced in 'modifiers=' list are used for shift level calculation and then discarded."
- - Does this mean that LevelFive should've been discarded but isn't? Is it an XKB bug?
-* Update to the latest xkb-data: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-main-amd64/xkb-data_2.29-2_all.deb.html
-* Find out how to change the rules component properly to allow compiling and eventually merging to the main repo?
-* Migrate from `~/.bashrc` to `~/.xprofile`? The latter is more appropriate, but which setups source it and which ones don't?
- - Include both? Or, people can just enter the file names.
-* Could use an key code alias defined in keycodes/evdev (alias = ), instead of the code?
-* Test this method for using a local dir, by Bjørnar "zkf" Hansen:
- - Copy the `xkb-data_mod/xkb` dir to, say, `/usr/local/bigbag/xkb` if desired.
- - Set `setenv MYXKB ` or `export MYKXB=` as appropriate (not necessary for this, just practical here).
- - `setxkbmap -rules evdev -option '' -print | xkbcomp -I -I$MYXKB -I/usr/share/X11/xkb - $DISPLAY`
- - See https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/14
- - More useful info in this comment: https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/14#issuecomment-767590722
- - "-I/usr/local/share/X11/xkb can be written more succinctly as -I. if you first cd into this directory."
- - Another reason to first cd into the local xkb dir is that the rules dir is expected to be in the pwd.

- - Another attempt by birdspider, with some tripups and solutions:
- https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/1#issuecomment-818880299
-* For an EsAlt variant as in EPKL:
-```
- key { [ 4, dollar, dead_currency, EuroSign ] }; // 4
- key { [ l, L, U2039, guillemotleft ] }; // QWE U Cmk L
- key { [ u, U, ú, Ú ] }; // QWE I Cmk U - EsAlt
- key { [ a, A, á, Á ] }; // QWE A Cmk A - EsAlt
- key { [ h, H, leftarrow, rightarrow ] }; // QWE H Cmk H
-// key { [ n, N, ñ, Ñ ] }; // QWE J Cmk N - EsAlt ANSI
- key { [ e, E, é, É ] }; // QWE K Cmk E - EsAlt
- key { [ i, I, í, Í ] }; // QWE L Cmk I - EsAlt
- key { [ o, O, ó, Ó ] }; // QWE ; Cmk O - EsAlt
- key { [ ñ, Ñ, oe, OE ] }; // <> - EsAlt ISO
-// key { [ k, K, endash, uparrow ] }; // QWE N Cmk K - ANSI
- key { [ bracketleft, braceleft, masculine, ordfeminine ] }; // [{
-```
-* To change the logon keyboard layout:
- - `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration`
-
-
-DONE:
------
-* Moved Space to the "letters" block to ensure a consistent Space key implementation for `_ks` layouts etc. Many xkb layouts are sloppy about that.
-* 2023-01-03: Renamed setkb --> setkb: It's easier to type. Updated all docs including the Forum topic.
-* 2020-11-05: Switched to the new DH = DHm standard (was DH = DHk)
-* Changed the default layout for the setkb.sh script to US (UniSym): In my experience, most users that struggle with the setup want US English.
-* To get back to your old layout/model, use `setkb 4n/5n [loc]`. You may also specify `mod loc [var]`; omit `var` for the default (basic) variant.
-* Separated out the F# key block in the extend file: People complain that their TTY shortcuts aren't working because of it. Ext+AltGr+F# works though.
-* Relieve the sudo requirement. And add an option to change the X11 dir since Nix uses another place. Pulled from fufexan@github.

+* Add lv5:lalt_switch_lock for LALT-Extend.
+* Add compose:102? Inconsistent between ISO and ANSI, just add a pro-tip.
+* The Curl(DH) model implementation has to go as it may mess w/ QWERTY. Instead, I should use two Extend variants.
+ - It also seems very hard for some newcomers to understand. So yes, I should have the Angle mod only and not CurlAngle models?
+ - Also, matrix users want the V-D swap without an Angle mod! Another nail in the coffin for the Curl models.
+ - The V-D swap also messes with the Extend mapping for Paste, which becomes Ctrl+D instead of Ctrl+V.
+ - Actually, should I make a NoModel CurlAngle layout for the model impaired? Vanilla, Curl(DH) and Curl(DH)Angle then. ... No?
+ - First, just make Curl with D-V swap built in. Let the Extend Paste function be where it falls for now?
+ - Separate Angle mods for Curl and non-Curl? Probably not, as it'll still get silly when using both QWERTY and Cmk-eD.
+ - Separate Extend-Angle includes! Similar to how EPKL handles this problem.
+* Check out the compose:102 option. This would be similar to what I've used in EPKL for Windows! It's also present in some other layouts.
+* Echo the setxkbmap command when using setkb.sh, for ease of troubleshooting! Also make the script able to output the command for piping?
+* Add a localectl option to setkb.sh? So people can choose that or setxkbmap. Eventually, even more variants such as Sway?
+
+* Problems with Super+ shortcuts: https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/23#issuecomment-1027839924
+
+* A purge option in addition to restore for the install script? So backup dirs etc are removed and the xkb dir restored to original state.
+
+* Update xkb-data and then start testing on a Wayland system!
+ - Use the [GitLab][XKBgitLb]/[GitHub][XKBgitHb] repo as that's the freshest there is.
+
+* A clarification by Peter Hutterer on the mystic .part files in the rules component:
+ - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/327#note_1436334
+ - The parts are numbered to get their sequence in the resulting files right. Only when there are differences, they start with base/evdev.
+ - There are RMLVO (user interface) and KcCSGST (actual XKB) letter codes. The naming of those .part files is 1234-rmlvo-kccgst.part...
+ - but with only the relevant bits. So, e.g., `0009-m_g.part` is the model to group mapping of the final rules file. `ml_s.part` is model + layout to symbols.
+ - It seems that you can make layout commits by editing only the rules/base.xml (and symbols) file(s) though?
+
+* Add a model-less Colemak-CAWS for people who want to switch to QWERTY? Or instructions on how to setkb it? That's better, I think.
+* Problem: Using Google Spreadsheets, hitting Caps Lock (which is mapped to ISO_Level5_Shift) clears the current spreadsheet cell.
+ - https://forum.colemak.com/topic/1438-dreymars-big-bag-of-keyboard-tricks-linuxxkb-files-included/p15/#p23838
+ - This solves it by convincing Google Sheets that the Caps key is a Win key: `sudo setkeycodes 0x3a 125`
+ - But it only works for built-in laptop keyboards and not USB/Bluetooth ones?
+* Is there a way to clear the LevelFive mod on all the Extend mappings by default? Or must I be more careful with each RedirectKey()?
+ - Example: `Q -> Esc -> Caps` caused people trouble, as Ext+Q would act as Esc+Caps.
+ - Possibly, finally make a new key type EIGHT_LEVEL_EXTEND with the action clearmods=LevelFive added to state 5-8? No, no actions.
+ - In xkb/types/level5 under EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC I used `preserve[Shift] = Shift;`. We need the opposite here, to discard lvl5.
+ - See for instance https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/input/XKB-Enhancing.html
+ - "Usually, all modifiers introduced in 'modifiers=' list are used for shift level calculation and then discarded."
+ - Does this mean that LevelFive should've been discarded but isn't? Is it an XKB bug?
+* Update to the latest xkb-data: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-main-amd64/xkb-data_2.29-2_all.deb.html
+* Find out how to change the rules component properly to allow compiling and eventually merging to the main repo?
+* Migrate from `~/.bashrc` to `~/.xprofile`? The latter is more appropriate, but which setups source it and which ones don't?
+ - Include both? Or, people can just enter the file names.
+* Could use an key code alias defined in keycodes/evdev (alias = ), instead of the code?
+* Test this method for using a local dir, by Bjørnar "zkf" Hansen:
+ - Copy the `xkb-data_mod/xkb` dir to, say, `/usr/local/bigbag/xkb` if desired.
+ - Set `setenv MYXKB ` or `export MYKXB=` as appropriate (not necessary for this, just practical here).
+ - `setxkbmap -rules evdev -option '' -print | xkbcomp -I -I$MYXKB -I/usr/share/X11/xkb - $DISPLAY`
+ - See https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/14
+ - More useful info in this comment: https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/14#issuecomment-767590722
+ - "-I/usr/local/share/X11/xkb can be written more succinctly as -I. if you first cd into this directory."
+ - Another reason to first cd into the local xkb dir is that the rules dir is expected to be in the pwd.
+* An earlier comment on the local dir subject, by neeasade@github in issue 1:
+ - https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/1#issuecomment-462952051
+ - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/397716/custom-keyboard-layout-without-root
+ - `setxkbmap -I $MYXKB -rules evdev -print | xkbcomp -I $MYXKB - "$DISPLAY"
+ - "I made that tweak to setkb and some small changes to use a hardcoded $HOME dir path, and it appears good."
+ - Another attempt by birdspider, with some tripups and solutions:
+ https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/issues/1#issuecomment-818880299
+* For an EsAlt variant as in EPKL:
+```
+ key { [ 4, dollar, dead_currency, EuroSign ] }; // 4
+ key { [ l, L, U2039, guillemotleft ] }; // QWE U Cmk L
+ key { [ u, U, ú, Ú ] }; // QWE I Cmk U - EsAlt
+ key { [ a, A, á, Á ] }; // QWE A Cmk A - EsAlt
+ key { [ h, H, leftarrow, rightarrow ] }; // QWE H Cmk H
+// key { [ n, N, ñ, Ñ ] }; // QWE J Cmk N - EsAlt ANSI
+ key { [ e, E, é, É ] }; // QWE K Cmk E - EsAlt
+ key { [ i, I, í, Í ] }; // QWE L Cmk I - EsAlt
+ key { [ o, O, ó, Ó ] }; // QWE ; Cmk O - EsAlt
+ key { [ ñ, Ñ, oe, OE ] }; // <> - EsAlt ISO
+// key { [ k, K, endash, uparrow ] }; // QWE N Cmk K - ANSI
+ key { [ bracketleft, braceleft, masculine, ordfeminine ] }; // [{
+```
+
+
+
+DONE:
+-----
+* Fixed key repetition with Extend, particularly vis-a-vis Wayland.
+ - Added `repeat=yes` after the key actions, to all keys that have actions.
+ - https://discord.com/channels/409502982246236160/1066499260322943006/1080488398403424256
+ - http://web.archive.org/web/20190320180541/http://pascal.tsu.ru/en/xkb/gram-symbols.html
+ - I couldn't devise a way to do this once and for instead of by-key (looked at compat but no?).
+* Moved Space to the "letters" block to ensure a consistent Space key implementation for `_ks` layouts etc. Many xkb layouts are sloppy about that.
+* Renamed setkb --> setkb: It's easier to type. Updated all docs including the Forum topic.
+* Switched to the new DH = DHm standard (was DH = DHk, 2017–2020).
+* Changed the default layout for the setkb.sh script to US (UniSym): In my experience, most users that struggle with the setup want US English.
+* Relieve the sudo requirement. And add an option to change the X11 dir since Nix uses another place. Pulled from fufexan@github.
