My build of suckless' st (the best x11 terminal)
The bits of uint signal in an XKeyEvent which concern the key group (keyboard layout) are bits 13 and 14, as documented here: https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libX11/XKB/xkblib.html#Groups_and_Shift_Levels In the older version, only bit 13 was marked as part of XK_SWITCH_MOD, this causes issues for users who have more than two keymaps. the 14th bit is not in ignoremod, key sequences are not caught by match(), if they switch to a third or fourth keyboard. |
