gxkb rewrites xmodmap mappings

[last5bits]

Hi everybody,

First, let me thank you for this tray indicator, I've been using it for awhile and it worked great. Here's, however, a small issue I've encountered.

Reproduce:

1. Run xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Prior" -e "keycode 112 = Next" to swap PageUp and PageDown
2. Run gxkb and that will restore the mappings to the default

Hi! And thanks for the report.

I think there are three options to resolve this issue:

1. Run xmodmap after gxkb startup.

or

2. Set never_modify_config param to true in ~/.config/gxkb/gxkb.cfg. In this case gxkb will not override X keyboard config. But all keyboard layouts should be configured on X11 side.

or

3. Create your own keyboard layout. But it's more complex task.

Thanks for the swift response! Unfortunately, solution 1 doesn't work since if you go to a TTY and back, the parameters still will be overridden. However, I tried solution 2 and it works like a charm. Thank you!

That's interesting, opening a TTY and going back still overrides the mappings. Do you have any suggestions?

Looks like last bug was introduced by this commit. I have pushed a fix into the master branch. So, I will be grateful if you test it. Or you can try to rollback on gxkb v0.7.8 and I double check the fix later.

Works for me! Thank you very much.
