Option to change original XKB files location about bigbagkbdtrixxkb HOT 4 CLOSED

The reason I wanted an option beside -i is because I needed a way to tell the script where the X11DIR is (in order for it to get and patch the XKB files). I managed to do it.

Another thing I did was add an option to use the script without sudo. In the Nix build process, sudo isn't available as a command, and since one could specify the X11DIR, if it's writable, the script has no problem.

I updated my fork with the code if you want to look.

Here's how I'm using my fork.

I don't quite understand what you mean. In the install script, you can just change the X11DIR variable to what you want. But you'd like a switch for the script instead, so you wouldn't have to edit the file each time? Isn't that what the -i switch does?

If you wish, you can also copy the modded files over the X11/xkb dir manually. But maybe the better option is to use a local directory? See the other current issue.

The setxkb script has a -d switch for which dir to run setxkbmap from.

Nice work there! I wish I understood the magic you've done with how you're setting it up, but that went right above my head.

Thanks for merging!

As for the magic I'm doing with it - it's just patching packages the Nix way :) Although that method is not ideal, I can't seem to be able to include your mods in a more elegant way. But it works, and I'm fine with it.
