sxhkd swapping keys when using super

[pedroilidio]

Some combinations with the super key appear to have messed keymaps with sxhkd. super + l turns into super + n, super + k is registered as super + t and super + j now activates super + y.

I have no clue what is going on, they were working fine until the last update, apparently. I use Brazilian and Dvorak layouts with setxkbmap on .xinitrc. Here are some logs recording the chords I mentioned:

Thanks for any help!

It can be solved by disabling Dvorak, changing the first line of .xinitrc from

setxkbmap -layout br,dvorak -option "grp:alt_caps_toggle"

to

setxkbmap -layout br

I suspect this is a duplicate of #289

[ncfavier]

@pedroilidio to help confirm that this is a duplicate of https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd/issues/289, could you (either or both)

1. confirm that this issue appears when updating xkeyboard-config from 2.36 to >=2.37 ?
2. build sxhkd using make debug, run it once and post the full output? (You don't have to do anything while it's running, you can kill it immediately. Also note that you can enclose code/log snippets between three backticks ``` on GitHub.)
