By the way, here's the related section of dumpkeys:

They're clearly remapped in the layout: https://bitbucket.org/cheater/us_split_logitech_k400/commits/5f777c7dfe1a4b176b3409c71030ad8f On the other hand, the same layout remaps the k key to type h and that shows: keycode 37 = +h shift keycode 37 = +H control keycode 37 = BackSpace shift control keycode 37 = BackSpace altgr control keycode 37 = BackSpace shift altgr control keycode 37 = BackSpace alt keycode 37 = Meta_h shift alt keycode 37 = Meta_H altgr alt keycode 37 = Meta_h shift altgr alt keycode 37 = Meta_h control alt keycode 37 = Meta_BackSpace shift control alt keycode 37 = Meta_BackSpace altgr control alt keycode 37 = Meta_BackSpace shift altgr control alt keycode 37 = Meta_BackSpace although after this line it starts showing incorrect values. So it seems like this is a deeper bug. Can anyone comment on that? Is there anyone in specific I could contact about the xkb codebase?
