Description

In hyprland and niri, they support defining keyboard remaps by libxkb:
niri:

keyboard {
    xkb {
        options "caps:escape"
    }
}

hyprland:

input {
    kb_options = caps:escape,altwin:swap_ralt_rwin
}

These are not honoured by lan-mouse when controlling a remote device. For example, when i'm pressing caps lock, in hyprland/niri i'm triggering escape, but when passed through lan-mouse, it's back to passing capslock.

Proposed change:

An configurable parameter to respect libxkbcommon would be great.
