Note: it should also be possible to only override certain levels of keys without touching other level definitions. For example, eurosign(e) should only change the third level of E key to output € symbol, but leave other levels untouched (if they were already defined). If we have to choose between possibility to change the definition of only one level like that and the possibility to inherit from a previous level, I'd choose the ability to override only one level, because we could still easily adjust the definition of nbsp(level3) to explicitly output nobreakspace in both L3 and L4 in that case. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.

A definition like this one: partial xkb_symbols "level3" { key <SPCE> { type[Group1]="FOUR_LEVEL", symbols[Group1]= [ space, space, nobreakspace ] }; }; results in <SPCE> key not having any simbol in the 4th level instead of inheriting that symbol from the 3rd level. Excerpt from IRC: svu: Actually, after translation (using setxkbmap and xkbcomp), I am getting the following svu: key <SPCE> { svu: type= "FOUR_LEVEL", svu: symbols[Group1]= [ space, space, nobreakspace, NoSymbol ] svu: };
