Options for Modifier Input

What options do we have for modifiers on the TouchPad virtual keyboard?

Do we need a "modifier / arrow keys" slice between the keyboard and the X display?

Encoding of Input

Ideally, we can encode all input (as it leaves Xsdl) the same way on _all_ devices. This means, for example, we only have exactly 1 XKB mapping.

What should this look like?
