  • Q2 is definitely because you didn't clear the modifier. See unix.stackexchange.com/q/195065 and unix.stackexchange.com/q/103814 for some similar problems. I'm not sure about Q3, but I suspect that it's because of that Mod2 BadKey bit. Even when you're just changing one thing, the xmodmap utility calls XGetModifierMapping, makes that one change, then calls XSetModifierMapping. If you've somehow ended up with a bad configuration on the server, the Set step fails. clear mod2 may help, although I'm not sure if that's enough. Commented Nov 19, 2024 at 22:13
