XKB: creating new type fails
I thought I understood XKB, but apparently not... So first I have a question that make me unable to debug XKB: I have in a file (obtain with xkbcomp $DISPLAY output.xkb) a part like that:
type "FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD" {
modifiers= Shift+NumLock+LevelThree;
map[Shift+NumLock]= Level1;
map[NumLock]= Level2;
map[Shift]= Level2;
map[LevelThree]= Level3;
map[NumLock+LevelThree]= Level3;
map[Shift+LevelThree]= Level4;
map[Shift+NumLock+LevelThree]= Level4;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Number";
level_name[Level3]= "Alt Base";
level_name[Level4]= "Shift Alt";
};
I would like first to create a copy of this type, so I copy pasted right below the same item with a different title:
type "FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD_CUS" {
modifiers= Shift+NumLock+LevelThree;
map[Shift+NumLock]= Level1;
map[NumLock]= Level2;
map[Shift]= Level2;
map[LevelThree]= Level3;
map[NumLock+LevelThree]= Level3;
map[Shift+LevelThree]= Level4;
map[Shift+NumLock+LevelThree]= Level4;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Number";
level_name[Level3]= "Alt Base";
level_name[Level4]= "Shift Alt";
};
and I changed the line
key <KP2> {
type= "FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD",
symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Down, KP_2, U2193, U21D3 ]
};
into
key <KP2> {
type= "FOUR_LEVEL_MIXED_KEYPAD_CUS",
symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Down, KP_2, U2193, U21D3 ]
};
(i.e. I just changed the name of the type)
Then I reload the file using xkbcomp output.xkb $DISPLAY... And now the key 2 does not work as before (other keys are unchanged), and basically when I use no modified it's like if I press directly the down button, while before it was printing a number (NumLock is enabled). If I remove the _CUS in the name, then it works as before.
How is that possible, as the two types are supposed to be the same?

I cannot reproduce. The_CUStype works just the same for me, and theKP_Downworks similarly toKP_Up. You probably have something else going on there (xmodmap?)
