Hello @askfedi,
TL;DR: What is causing my X.org keymap to change unsolicited for, and how can I prevent it?
When I log in to my X.org based desktop environment on Linux a custom keymap is set from ~/.Xmodmap. This is all fine and dandy.
However, at odd times — perhaps every day or two — the keymap mutates into something else, that could be the default X.org keymap, and I have to run “xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap” to get back to where I want to be.
I haven't been able to correlate these events with anything, but of course systemd is always a strong contender for such anomalies…
Has anyone else experienced the same thing and found a way to prevent it?
TIA!

Got angry at #xmodmap which broke during a recent #opensuse upgrade. Replaced it with #keyd, which has been much more stable.

Considered #kmonad, which has an attractive s-exp based config language, but the toolchain wouldn't compile properly.
