If the active set of modifiers doesn't match any explicit entry of the key type, the resulting level is 0 (i.e. Level 1). Some key types don't explicitly map Level 1, taking advantage of this fallback. Previously, xkb_keymap_key_get_mods_for_level didn't consider this, and only reported masks for explicit mappings. But this causes some glaring omissions, like matching "a" in the "us" keymap returning not results. Since every mask which isn't explicitly mapped falls back to 0, we can't return the all. Almost always the best choice for this is the empty mask, so return that, when applicable. Fixes https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/140.

libxkbcommon
libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) specification. It also contains a module for handling Compose and dead keys.
Quick Guide
See Quick Guide.
Building
libxkbcommon is built with Meson:
meson setup build
ninja -C build
To build for use with Wayland, you can disable X11 support while still using the X11 keyboard configuration resource files thusly:
meson setup build \
-Denable-x11=false \
-Dxkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
-Dx-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale
ninja -C build
API
While libxkbcommon's API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to expose fewer internal details to clients.
See the API Documentation.
Dataset
libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for testing purposes. The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data. More information on xkeyboard-config is available here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig
The dataset for Compose is distributed in libX11, as part of the X locale data.
Relation to X11
See Compatibility notes.
