Glad to know you fixed it!

Indeed, the key is that the *model* was set to `pc98`, resulting in applying a
legacy US layout, with some keys missing and requiring options to set them.

The model you chose is unlikely to be default in your distro, so you chose it
somehow.

Some guesses:
1. Unintentionally chose the model with an unlucky mouse wheel move.
2. Your layout is 96%, so maybe you chose it for the similarity.

I previously thought it was because of the change in the low-level encoding of
some modifiers. But no, it is due to the fix that *actually* apply the legacy
layout corresponding to the model.

So previously, you got the layout as if you chose the generic 101 model, but
that was by chance due to a bug. Now that the bug is fixed, you get the layout
that is correct for the keyboard model PC-98, but incorrect for you since itโ€™s
not the right model.

The list of models is primarily for legacy hardware. You know, when there was
no USB or such ๐Ÿ˜„. For modern keyboard, the generic 101/102/104/105 will do. You
will not get a picture of your exact model, but the layout will work as
expected.
