Great info! I will try it when I decide to trial-run Wayland again, thank you!
(Some things I had read online suggested that Wayland did not use the x11 configs. If it does, that’s good news.)

As someone who hasn’t yet moved to Wayland, how good is support these days for alternate keyboard mappings? Is this something that each individual window manager needs to support, or does Wayland itself manage them?
Not just “international keyboard” support, but truly arbitrary keyboard/symbol mapping support. I muddle in programming with APL, which needs its own key mapping with Unicode symbols.
I recall KDE had its own mapping support which used some system APL layout but I’d rather not have key mappings tied to a specific window manager.
I’ll look into those, thank you!
(I currently set up my APL keymap via .Xmodmap with xmodmap, and setxkbmap for X11 terms, and with ‘loadkeys’ for console.)
