Summary

When we implemented Wayland support, we were able to make it even more robust than what this package can do in an X11 environment:

  1. Full keymap exploration, including withAltGraph and withAltGraphShift
  2. Callbacks for when the layout changes

Based on conversations with Claude, these things are probably attainable in X11. Item 1 is probably more useful.

What benefits does this feature provide?

Less of a behavior difference between Wayland and X11 is less disorienting to users, even if the implementations vary wildly under the hood.

Any alternatives?

It's not a huge deal! We could just leave things as they are, especially if we think new native code introduces more risk than reward. Still, this is worth logging, whether or not we ever get around to doing it.
