Thanks Andreas, I had missed this in the previous discussion.

First, I must say it's a very clever hack :)

I have not looked at it deeply yet, but I have some initial questions:

- Can you describe a bit how you imagine the changes to xkeyboard-config would look with this approach?

- Do you think this can be done in a backwards compatible way? As far as xkbcommon is concerned, I am only interested in this scenario: old library (unaware of the new LockMods options) & new keymap (in textual form, modified with the new flags).

X has more compatibility concerns, xkbcomp/client/server/libxkbfile/protocol/Xlib/etc, but allow me to ignore that for now.

BTW: xkbcommon already supports noLock/noUnlock in LockMods (unlike xkbcomp), based on your work[1]. So I hope the approach does not rely on these not already working :)
