If you just want to change just a couple of keymappings, you can create your own by overriding the keymappings of your usual layout.
```
input type:keyboard {
# Modified programmer Dvorak. File at ~/.xkb/symbols/dvp_alt_gr_remapped_to_super
xkb_layout "dvp_alt_gr_remapped_to_super"
# Capslock key should work as escape key
# See /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst for options
xkb_options caps:escape
repeat_delay 250
repeat_rate 45
}
```
The entirety of `~/.xkb/symbols/dvp_alt_gr_remapped_to_super`:
```
default partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "basic" {
include "us(dvp)"
name[Group1] = "Modified programmer Dvorak";
key <RALT> { [ Super_L, Super_R ] };
};
```
The full documentation on how to override keymappings is available [at this link](https://www.charvolant.org/doug/xkb/html/node5.html). Here a [slightly digested version](https://git.sr.ht/~jman/dotfiles/tree/refs/heads/master/xkb/README.md) with a practical commented example.
