Where do you specify the group toggle? My custom us layout and the
colemak variant are all under /usr/share/X11/xkb, but Arch tells you to set
keyboard options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Where do you set yours?

This is what my note-to-self-file says:

Modify: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se

Modify: /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml

Run:

Verify:

cd /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols

xkbcomp se # test

xkbcomp -lhlpR '*' -o ../symbols.dir # verify

Parts of my diff to se:

+

+partial modifier_keys

+xkb_symbols "pworak_mods" {

+    replace key <CAPS> {  [ Control_L, Control_L ] };

+    modifier_map  Control { <CAPS> };

+

+    // Left control key = F20

+    // Caps = Control_L

+    replace key <AA00> {  [ F20 ] };

+};

+

+partial alphanumeric_keys

+xkb_symbols "pworak" {

+name[Group1]="Swedish (Pworak)";

+

+// don't include in the future

+include "se(basic)"

+include "se(pworak_mods)"
