Agreed, if this is marked as fixed I swear I'm moving back to GNOME or
worse, Windows!
That being said, I think if you add sleep 10 before the cp command,
it should work better. This ensures that the file replacement happens
AFTER the plugin has loaded, which may not be the case on all systems.
Have you attempted to use the Workaround above? If that is so difficult
for you, perhaps moving to an Operating System that works for you is
better. Please do not put your threats in these comments. It tends to
make the bug report harder to find the actual problems.

Yes, it's possible to add more options in the .rc file simply with a
comma after the setting. For example:
toggle_option=grp:lwin_toggle,grp:alt_caps_toggle
For the change to apply, just pkill xkb again
The plugin GUI will not like this though and will remove the extra stuff if you
bring it up.
The plugin seems to crash randomly, losing it configuration in the
process.
As stated above, if we want to still use the plugin (to switch, see the
flag, etc) we cannot use a setxkbmap command on startup because the
settings get overwritten by xkb-plugin (with blank ones).
Complicated temporary
Thanks for the workaround, will try.
Is there any way to use more setxkbmap options with the plugin like
grp_led:caps, or just combine several grp: ones(since the gui just has 1 option
