+ BR:
+ There is not modifier_del instruction in 'XKB language' but ...
+ I made a simple change for xkbcomp and now it understands an instruction
+ like
+ modifier_add none { <LALT> };
+ It removes the modifier binding from the specified key.
+ I'm sorry I forget to mention this patch in CHANGELOG but it was a part
+ of 667 change made at Dec 18 14:14:37 2003 (i.e. it is included in 4.4.0).
+ If your xkbcomp is later than that version it understands such instruction.
+ So I'm thinking the fix is to apply the above, then modify the symbol maps
+ such that (in most cases) any keys that get modifier mappings are cleared
+ first. This solution will absolutely positively need testing.
