A compositor resolves a bind's keysym on the first level of the active
layout. Layouts that put punctuation higher up therefore cannot reach it
at all: de:neo has bracketleft on layer 4 and plain de on AltGr, so
Mod+bracketleft is a bind that can never fire. The editor recorded and
stored it anyway and gave no sign that anything was wrong (#3585).
`dms keybinds keymap` now reports what the seat's xkb keymap puts on the
first level of every physical key, and the editor says so instead of
letting a dead bind through.
The keymap a compositor hands out writes its keysyms as hex, so only the
range the keymap package can name back is usable for the comparison.
That is the ASCII range, which is where the problem lives, and the
command reports the vocabulary alongside the keys so the caller can tell
"the layout cannot reach this" from "we could not name it" and stay
quiet in the second case.
