symbols: map Hyper to Mod3 by default
`Super` is a conventional modifier for WM/desktop actions, while `Hyper`
has no such specific use. Instead, it can be used as a general purpose
extra modifier.
The issue is that both `Super` and `Hyper` are currently mapped to `Mod4`,
which disallows to differentiate them.
Since `Super` is more conventional than `Hyper`, it seems safer to not
change its mappings to `Mod4`, as it may have been hard-coded in some
apps. Instead, we now default `Hyper` mapping to `Mod3`, as it was before
in some options.
Note that now `Hyper` conflicts with `LevelFive`, but it seems reasonable
to assume the use case for `LevelFive` (layout with up to 8 levels) *plus*
`Hyper` is niche enough. It can be solved by using a custom layout that
maps `Hyper` to:
- `Mod2`, and giving up `NumLock`.
- `Mod4`, and giving up (separate) `Super`.
---
Remark: all this issues with modifiers happen because our layouts define
`modifier_map` on real keys, in order to be compatible with the X11 core
protocol. But XKB would work using a mapping only on the “fake” keys
`<ALT>`, `<HYPR>`, etc. If we did so and remove any other mapping, we
would be able to write options to make these mappings user-settable and
forget forever of the tricky `modifier_map` conflicts.

Add caps:digits_row_independent_lock option
`Shift + Caps` locks the digits on the digits row, `Caps Lock` alone
behaves as usual (Azerty layouts).
The `Shift + Caps Lock` combination inverts the first two levels only.
Originally designed for layouts with digits on the second level of the
digits row (e.g. Azerty layouts).
This allows users to have direct access to digits while keeping
usual capitalization via `Caps Lock`.
Also add the `FOUR_LEVEL_LOCKABLE_LEVEL2` key type, a variant of
`FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD` that uses `LevelFive` instead of `NumLock`,
to avoid interaction with the keypad. Originally created to lock the
digits on layouts with digits on the second level of the digits row
(e.g. Azerty layouts).

rules: Fix compat mappings
Previously the compatibility rules where incorrect:
- Lines with a comment starting by “//” where parsed incorrectly,
because comments where in fact not supported.
- `variantsMapping.lst` was added to rules without variant.
This resulted in incorrect rules with MLVO = (model, layout), e.g. the
beautiful following rules:
```
! model layout = symbols
* mao(nz(mao)) = pc+//(Delete)
* ben(basic) = pc+in(ben)
```
Fixed the issue and ensure to raise an error if expectation on layout
variant is broken.

rules: Fix layout compat rules
Layout compatibility rules are broken in configurations with 2 or more
layouts, e.g.:
- Works:
- config: `--layout fi --variant basic`
- symbols: `pc+fi(classic)+inet(evdev)`.
`fi(basic)` is correctly remapped to `fi(classic)`.
- Does not work:
- config `--layout fi,us --variant basic,`
- symbols: `pc+fi(basic)+us:2+inet(evdev)`.
`fi(basic)` is not remapped and leads to an include error.
- Does not work:
- config `--layout us,fi --variant ,basic`
- symbols: `pc+us:fi(basic):2+fi(classic):2+inet(evdev)`.
`fi(basic)` is not remapped and leads to an include error.
I initially thought merging the following rules sets to fix it:
1. `model layout[n] = symbols`
2. `model layout[n] variant[n] = symbols`
but it does not work: `*` wildcard does *not* match empty values.
There is another issue: using a variant will check and match *both*
rules sets. In the first rule set, compat rules are only for deleted
symbols files (e.g. `dev`). But when the symbols file exists, we end
up with an invalid include statement (see `fi(basic)` examples above).
This is because the first rules set has a catch-all rule that will
always match, while we want it to match only in the second rules set.
Unfortunately such rules cannot be expressed in rules files. So the
solution is to append generated compatibility sections in the
corresponding symbols files and remove the corresponding current rules.
Section name clashes are checked and will raise an error.
E.g.: currently we append the following to `symbols/de`:
partial xkb_symbols "lld" {
include "it(lldde)"
};
If we already had a section named lld, this would produce the following
error:
Cannot add compatibility section in symbols/de: "lld" already exists
Also:
- Move symbols handling in meson into the symbols subfolder.
- Sort compat layout rules.
- We ensure that rules with variant take priority over rules without one.

The previous update c4f76b584fe10bc2037966a70efad9bc5b682a4a removed
the initialization of a dictionary in the `merge` function, leading to
duplicates, namely the files *not* starting with a rule header.
While we introduced `defaultdict` previously to avoid initializing lists
manually, we still need to initialize the `dict` in order to keep it in

Fix NEC Japanese layout having two groups
According to our doc and practices, symbols should be defined only for
the first group. There are still a few layouts defining simultaneously
two groups. One of them is `nec_vndr/jp`, which has also a dedicated
rule. This commit fixes only this layout in preparation of a refactor
for `inet` rules.
- Split `nec_vndr/jp(pc98)` into two sections: `pc98` and `jp`, and
make the latter the default section.
- Fix the rules to ensure using this layout with the model `pc98` will
load *explicitly* 2 layouts, as this is the case for other models.
- Make the rules match `jp` layout, not `nec_vndr/jp`. No other rule
used the vendor path to match a layout.
The remaining layouts with 2 groups should also be fixed someday.

ci: don't run MR pipelines in forks
Commit originally by Simon Ser in wayland/wayland-protocols!305.
Currently our CI setup has a downside: for each push on a merge
request, two pipelines are triggered. The first is triggered in
the context of the forked repository, and the second is triggered
in the context of the MR in the parent repository.
Replace the uorkflow rules with the ones in the official docs [1],
so that a branch pipeline isn't triggered when a MR exists for that
branch.

triage: Add stale issues and MRs handling
Previous commits attempted to use bugbot to handle stale issues and MRs,
but bugbot only reacts on labels presence, it does not add them based on
some conditions.
The workflow is:
- An issue or MR is tagged automatically as stale after some period of
inactivity, unless it has the label “skip: stale triage”.
- An issue or MR can be tagged manually as stale if it seems relevant
to the maintainers. This is useful because the inactivity period in
the previous section is quite long.
- A tagged stale issue or MR is closed automatically.
- When an issue or MR closed by the previous rules is re-opened, its
labels related to its stale status are removed.
This commit adds a pipeline dedicated to triage, that is run only when
scheduled. The previous jobs are modified to run only if the pipeline is
*not* scheduled.

Add script to extract list of (non-)Latin layouts
This produces a CSV file with (non-)Latin layouts by analyzing all the
keysyms of each layout and check for required ones. This is more reliable
than checking the language tags of layouts, because a language may have
multiple scripts and the language tags may be incorrect or incomplete.
Method:
1. Get layouts via `xkbregistry`.
2. For each layout, check if it has all the basic Latin letters.
3. Export the filtered layouts as CSV.
Note that some layouts are “almost” Latin as they miss only a few
letters. Such layouts are considered non-Latin but raise a warning.

symbols/de: Add German (Noted) layout
Add the newest layout of the German Neo keyboard layout family. Noted is
a layout designed to make typing as comfortable and efficient as
possible in both German and English. It was developed with the help of a
layout optimizer, which is based on the metrics and concepts of
ArneBab's optimizer and adapts and extends them.
I switched from Neo 2 via Mine to Noted and I like to see this variant
to be available out of the box in Debian/Ubuntu.

These were used for mic mute and touchpad toggle keys because their
respective evdev keycodes end up being > 255. Recent evdev and libinput

symbols/pc: Make "Alt and Meta are on Alt" disabled by default
The "Alt and Meta are on Alt" option is enabled by default very likely
due to the historical reasons. There used to be keyboards that had no
Windows or Super keys in the 90s, for example IBM Model M [1], so
providing some fallback seems reasonable. It seems there used to be
different ways to handle the lack of Super keys, e.g. using Escape or Alt
key.
According to [2], the Windows key made its first appearance in year 1994
and, with Windows 95, any keyboard with the "Designed for Windows" logo
had to have this key, which greatly contributed to making the Super key
widespread, it's hard to find a keyboard that has no Windows or Super key
nowadays.
>From the desktop environment point of view, for the most optimal
experience, the user needs to have a keyboard with a real Super key (or a
spare key remapped to Super) because the desktop environments tend to
register global shortcuts containing Super key (with or without Shift
key).
The `altwin:meta_alt` option has been enabled for more than 20 years, but
it seems like users have started hitting its effects directly after
Plasma introduced the ability to configure global shortcuts that contain
only modifiers. Based on the empirical data that we (KDE developers) have
collected through various user forums and our bug tracker [3], the
current behavior is unexpected to our users, and it can interfere with
their workflow.
It is also interesting that the `altwin:meta_alt` option is effectively
enabled by default but there is no way to disable it. Perhaps there was
some mixup in 9bbda6bfbcc29a575ea3b5cb7bd2553767e80d53?
Last but not the least, the user expectations evolve as the time passes.
Today, practically all keyboards come with the Super key so users don't
face the problems that one would face 30 or 40 years ago (perhaps except
people who collect antique keyboards? but it is a niche case), so it is
reasonable to adjust the defaults to match the new expectations. The old
behavior can be restored by enabling the `altwin:meta_alt` option.

fr(bre): Fix Ch, C’h and Greek capitals
- Fix “Ch” and “C’h” capitals: they should be on CapsLock, where the
user expects them. There is a dedicated key type
`FOUR_LEVEL_PLUS_LOCK` used in other layouts for similar situations.
- Fix Greek capital letters.
- Move some Greek letters:
- Move Chi above “Ch”, as Chi modern transcription/transliteration is “ch”.
- Omicron is move above “v”, as “v” is sometimes procounced “o”.
- Final sigma is move above “c” for its similar form and close position
to σ and Σ.
fr(bre): Miscellaneous symbols

Improve one-handed layouts description
Currently layouts designed to be used with only one hand have the
English descriptions: “left handed” and “right handed”. This is
ambiguous, as it highlights *handedness* rather than one-hand typing.
Translations in some languages may thus convey only the former
understanding, which is incorrect.
Clarify that these layouts are for typing with only *one* hand.
Closes #483

Add support for the Microsoft Copilot key
MS specs require that the copilot key sends Win + Shift + F23 instead of
its own custom keysym. Add this to the default inet mapping so the F23
key maps to to XF86Assistant if invoked via that particular combo.

Fix vendor rules
Some vendor rules match only on the layout but use the variant in
their symbols mapping. Such rules will make the keymap compilation
fail when a variant is not in the vendor-specific symbol file.
Example: the following rule
! model layout = symbols
$applealu $macvendorlayouts = macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/%l%(v)
used with the RMLVO (evdev; applealu_iso; gb; mac_intl) would produce
the following erroneous symbols include:
macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/gb(mac_intl)
This fails because `mac_intl` is not a variant of `macintosh_vndr/gb`,
but of `gb`.
This commit fixes the issue by filtering vendor-specific variants,
having the vendor-agnostic symbols as a fallback.
Note that while it works perfectly for layouts in the first position,
layouts in later positions that have 1) a corresponding vendor-specific
file but 2) require a vendor-agnostic variant, will load the vendor-
specific symbols before importing the relevant section. To illustrate,
the RMLVO config (evdev; applealu_iso; ara,gb; ,mac_intl) would result
in the symbols:
macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+ara+macintosh_vndr/gb:2+gb(mac_intl):2
where `macintosh_vndr/gb:2` will be overriden by the following `gb(mac_intl):2`.
This is unfortunate, but there does not seem to be a workaround for it.
---
We would need to extend the rules syntax with a new wild card (e.g. ‘-’
or ‘∅’) to be able to match a missing variant, e.g.:
! model layout[2] variant[2] = symbols
$applealu gb - = +macintosh_vndr/gb:2
$applealu gb * = +%l[2]%(v[2]):2
While at it, another wild card to match both present *and* missing
variant would be really useful as well.

Fix af layout with olpc model
Add `olpc` variant to `af` in order to fix compilation with the `olpc`
model. There are already various olpc vendor-specific variants in `af`
symbols. As the default variant for `af` is for the Dari language, make
also `olpc` variant an alias for the olpc Dari variant `fa-olpc`.

Use explicit virtual modifiers declarations
A virtual modifier should always be declared before its use. They are a
few missing entries, that currently work only because they are not used
in isolation.
But since XKB is about composability, we should ensure that every
component compiles in isolation, so this commit adds the missing
`virtual_modifiers` entries.
