Sorry, I forgot about an annoying feature of the XKB client utilties. An option name is ignored if it's not recongized. See /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 for a list of legal option names. They use "grp" instead of "group". You can see the recognized selections within the group file as well. I myself did get success in seeing mode_switch key events with: setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout gb -option ctrl:nocaps,grp:switch ...but could not produce any particular special symbols this way. -- G.
