Currently we do not support XKB Keyboard Controls.

However, among them is StickyKeys which seems sensible to implement in order to avoid Compositors to implement themselves the tricky Latch mechanics.

This would require exhaustive testing in order to avoid issues similar to #583.

issues similar to #583

My PR #569 fixes many such issues. Some of its changes may be controversial, as not clearly justified by the XKB spec. But all make for a nicer and more intuitive user experience in my testing, and some are absolutely necessary if StickyKeys is to work well with all the layouts in xkeyboard-config.

Unfortunately, there are also latching-related bugs outside libxkbcommon. I fixed one issue in ibus (ibus/ibus#2710), but there is also a bug in GTK (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7266) whose cause I have not yet uncovered. And there may be yet more problems elsewhere I don’t know about.
