Without quantifying the cost to society that someone's web-browser crashes sometimes, it's hard to make a rational case that this issue is so dire that it needs specific regulation…

This is one of many things that used to be easier before wayland You can get pretty far with just the xkbd definions though, although you need root to reconfigure it. A bit ironica…

Why would you want to avoid using a struct? Add a macro that declares the appropriate struct and get at least a tiny bit of type checking. With some clever use of _Generic you coul…
