* Replaced the arcane "for xkb on X.Org Server 7.x" w/ XKeyboardConfig etc
* Two spaces after most double-slash comments, just because it's pretty
* DreymaR's surname changed from Bech Gadmar to Bech-Aase in 2021
* Most Colemak Forum (forum.colemak.com) links replaced w/ new BigBag ones
* The Space key is now defined in the letter block, due to some users losing it
* Extend for F# keys is now disabled by default, due to problems for some users
* See the README on how to re-enable FK Extend
* Changed the name of the setxkb.sh script throughout
* Sorry if this causes confusion anywhere!
* Easier to type 'setkb' than 'setxkb'
* Easier to distinguish from 'setxkbmap'
* The Extend mapping for Enter/Return was reported to break the key: Disabled it.
* The aliases for Colemak DH had a bug (not actually used so far though)
* Some users felt that the unchanged xkb-data files were better named 'orig' than 'bak'.
* Since I'm a maniac, that made me change the 'mod' dir to 'xmod' too.
* Note that you may create a patch with the orig and xmod dirs, if you wish.
* Ext+AltGr+FKs select TTY Virtual Terminals 1-12
* You may comment out the include lv5_fk in symbols/extend to get back Ctrl+Alt+FK for TTY
* Use setxkb shortstr 'mod loc' for the basic variant of a locale, e.g., '4n us' for ANSI US QWERTY
* Use setxkb shortstr 'mod loc var' to specify any layout variant other than the cmk-eD us/ks ones
* Fixed problem with Ext+Q activating the CapsLock state
* Instead of Curl models, reverted to swapping D-V in symbols/colemak, in the cmk_ed_dbg partial.
* This means that Extend D will be Paste as it only sees the Angle mod. To make it V, you have to edit symbols/extend.
* It's hard for many (new) users to understand and change the model, it seems.
Several tweaks and tricks. Shell scripts improved, Curl and Tarmak-Curl
improvements, Kyrillic phonetic layouts updated. See the main Big Bag
for XKB topic, and the Tarmak topic (at the Colemak forum).
