- "-I/usr/local/share/X11/xkb can be written more succinctly as -I. if you first cd into this directory."
* An earlier comment on the local dir subject, by neeasade@github:

- `setxkbmap -I $MYXKB <params> -print | xkbcomp -I $MYXKB - "$DISPLAY"
- "I made that tweak to setxkb and some small changes to use a hardcoded $HOME dir path, and it appears good."
* For an EsAlt variant as in EPKL:
