Thanks! The keysymdef.h file is exactly what I had needed as a
reference. Before that I was scouring google looking for examples!

This looks like an issue, as I need to change the modifier keys based
on keyboard layout. I tried to add a new section to ~/symbols/pc like
this, but either I am calling it wrong or I wrote it wrong:
partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "noah" {
key <AE05> { [ escape ] };
key <AB05> { [ backspace, caps_Lock ] };
key <AB06> { [ Super_L, Super_R ] };
key <LCTL> { [ Control_L ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Alt_L ] };
key <LALT> { [ Shift_L ] };
};
Then in ~/symbols/us I added new section which calls it like this:
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "noah" {
name[Group1]= "USA - Noah Ergonomic";
include "pc(noah)"
key <TLDE> { [ 5, percent ] };
key <AE01> { [ 4, dollar ] };
key <AE02> { [ 3, numbersign ] };
...snip key definitions...
};
However, the modifier keys are not changing as I had intended. What
have I done wrong?
I appreciate your assistance! Thanks!
