So hours were spent tonight wondering why my xmodmap-based keyboard remap suddenly stopped working. It was a wonderful journey that included editing xkb symbol files, etc. To xev and xbindkeys reporting the correct keycode only for the wrong key to be displayed and, when an app I usually use stopped coming up in searches, to my running multiple security/rootkit tests as well because WTF?!
What was it?
My login had defaulted to Wayland.
