added faster xmodmap alternative
As explained in the README in xmodmap, it basically emits an event for every key remap, leading to the system sometimes hanging up.
The solution proposed here is from a stackexchange discussion, where the workaround is to create a compilable code from the current mapping, that would apply this layout when executed while only emitting the events once.
+ ~/keyboard on master ➜ gcc xmodmap_alternative.c -lX11
+ ~/keyboard on master ➜ ls
a.out README.md xmodmap_alternative.c
+ ~/keyboard on master ➜ xmodmap a.out
xmodmap: unknown command on line a.out:1
xmodmap: unknown command on line a.out:6
xmodmap: unknown command on line a.out:7
xmodmap: unknown command on line a.out:8
xmodmap: unknown command on line a.out:9
xmodmap: unknown command on line a.out:10
xmodmap: 6 errors encountered, aborting.
gcc version 11.4.0 (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04)
It works for you as is?
The output should be a.c instead of a.out. Then you can run gcc on it again and this time it creates the executable you can run

Doesn't work for me, can you post your versions and setup? The commands are rather simple I doubt I messed something up
