xkeyboard-config [2.45] - 2025-06-08

## Models

### Fixes

• Norwegian Macintosh layout: Fixed the apostrophe key to actually output apostrophe instead of bar.

## Layouts

### Breaking changes

• Deleted obsolete jp(kana86) layout.

### New

• Added Colemak variant for Swedish: se(colemak).

• French (AZERTY, AFNOR): Implemented the “European character” dead key on AltGr+H, as documented at the [offical web page](​https://norme-azerty.fr/img/EU_level.png). Also fixed the missing upper Theta Θ on Q.
• ru(typo): Added bar symbol on the <BKSL> key.

### Fixes

• us(colemak_dh): Fix the CapsLock remapping being difficult to override.
• Japanese layouts: Fix Eisu toggle triggering CapsLock when the layout is not in the first position.
• Apple: fix ISO keyboards International English layout (<TLDE>, <LSGT> keys permutation).

• Faroese fo: use comma as the decimal separator for the numpad.

## Options

### New

• Added two compatibility options related to Hyper:
  • hyper:mod3: maps the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod3; *conflicts with LevelFive*. Loaded by default when using any option with Hyper.
  • hyper:mod4: maps the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod3; *conflicts with Super*. Use this option if using both Hyper *and* LevelFive, e.g. for layouts with 5+ levels.

### Fixes

• shift:breaks_caps: Fix missing Shift_{L,R} keysyms that prevented keyboard shortcuts to work correctly in some setups.

## Miscellaneous

### Breaking changes

• Added KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU mapping for touchpad toggle.

Pressing the touchpad toggle key on some notebooks produces the key sequence Super + Control + KEY_ZENKAKUHANKAKU. Actual Japanese Hankaku/Zenkaku keys however do not use this keycode, but the <TLDE> one instead.

• The default mapping of the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod3 is now deactivated by default, because it conflicts with LevelFive, which is used in various layouts with 5+ levels.

It is now enabled only when using any option binding Hyper keysyms or when using the new option hyper:mod3. However, if one one want to use LevelFive and Hyper simultaneously (e.g. for layouts with 5+ levels), then the new alternative option hyper:mod4 should be used instead.

## Build system

### Breaking changes

• Switched to versioned install directories and files, to enable installing multiple versions of xkeyboard-config to be installed in parallel.

• Moved the keyboard keymap data to a namespace dedicated to xkeyboard-config: <prefix>/<datadir>/xkeyboard-config-2.
• Created symbolic link to maintain backward-compatibility with the X11 namespace: <prefix>/<datadir>/X11/xkb → <prefix>/<datadir>/xkeyboard-config-2.
• Renamed pkg-config, translation and manual files to include a version:
  • <prefix>/<datadir>/pkgconfig/xkeyboard-config-2.pc
  • <prefix>/<mandir>/man7/xkeyboard-config-2.7
  • <prefix>/<localedir>/**/xkeyboard-config-2.mo
• Created unversioned symbolic links to the previous files for backward-compatibility:
  • <prefix>/<datadir>/pkgconfig/: xkeyboard-config.pc → xkeyboard-config-2.pc
  • <prefix>/<mandir>/man7/: xkeyboard-config.7 → xkeyboard-config-2.7
  • <prefix>/<localedir>/**/: xkeyboard-config.mo → xkeyboard-config-2.mo
