I think you are asking for trouble here.
The biggest problem I see is that you are calling tolower() which
changes depending on the locale. Though most software fixes this by
forcing the locale to C, I'm not sure if that is acceptable for xkb.
Please do not rely on anything more complicated th
xkb_keysym_from_name() uses a big lookup table generated by "makekeys"
to find keysyms. It does this case-sensitive because we have keys like
XKB_KEY_A and XKB_KEY_a. So if a user searches for "a" we must always
return the case-sensitive match, which is XKB_KEY_a.
However, lets look at XKB_KEY_XF86
