[e-users] can not modify keys; xmodmap get cancelled

Hello. E17 0.24.2

I am trying to modify some keys, and after more than 4h, here is my point:

> $ xmodmap -v -pke | grep -e comma -e 194 ; echo A ; xmodmap -pke -e 
> "keycode 58 = comma question comma question" -e "keycode 194 = comma" 
> | grep -e 58 -e 194 ; echo B ; xmodmap -v -pke | grep -e comma -e 194 
> ; sleep 1 ; echo C ; xmodmap -v -pke | grep -e comma -e 194
> keycode  58 = comma question comma question dead_acute 
> dead_doubleacute dead_acute
> keycode 194 = XF86Launch7 NoSymbol XF86Launch7
> A
> keycode  58 = comma question comma question
> keycode 158 = XF86WWW NoSymbol XF86WWW
> keycode 194 = comma NoSymbol comma
> B
> keycode  58 = comma question comma question dead_acute 
> dead_doubleacute dead_acute
> keycode 194 = XF86Launch7 NoSymbol XF86Launch7
> C
> keycode  58 = comma question comma question dead_acute 
> dead_doubleacute dead_acute
> keycode 194 = XF86Launch7 NoSymbol XF86Launch7


Also, in the terminal running xev, I see a lot of


> MappingNotify event, serial 317, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
>     request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248


I have also tried to use the Settings>input>KeyBindigs, and assign 
"sleep 0.18 ; xdotool key parenright" ; hitting the key produces a 
FocusOut event, thus the need for a sleep, to inject the key after the 
focus regain, but this has a very low reliability.

Using xmodmap, keys are immediately rebinded to default, withint less 
than 1s.

I have tried to untick both X11 basics in Settings>Apps>DesktopEnv; no gain.

Didn't found anything relevant in Settings>Language>Input Method.

*=> how to get xmodmap modifications not get cancelled within micro 
seconds ?*

I have bought a Bluetooth digipad, and since it lacks some features, I 
want to reassign XF86Launch7(194) to comma. And few other similar things.

ChatGPT tried to make me use xkb, but the commands all failed:
> $ xkbcomp -w 0 - <<< 'xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { <AD08> = [ comma, 
> less ]; }; };' $DISPLAY
> Errors encountered in stdin; not compiled.
> $ xkbcomp -w 0 - <<< 'xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { 194 = [ comma, less 
> ]; }; };' $DISPLAY
> Errors encountered in stdin; not compiled.
