Jul 31, 2023 at 17:50 comment added Remember Monica setxkbmap usually overrides everything, while xmodmap mdoifies the existing keymap (overriding only what is specified). so it can be useful to first run setxkbmap and then xmodmap, e.g. if one is more comfortable with xmodmap syntax as opposed to the almost undocumented xkb syntax.
