Getting Ctrl+c, and Ctrl+v to work under i3 with dvorak
I'm used to PopOs+Gnome, where I use following program to remap Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v (and other QWERTY shortcuts) to work properly: https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwerty
I decided to try Arch with i3.
I downloaded and compiled xdq.c. However, when I run it, I don't get Qwerty shortcuts, probably because the environment is very different to what it's designed for.
That software has another option I could try, and it has to do with kernel and kernel debug symbols.
I have installed `linux-headers` package, but it's still not enough to run the https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwert … qwerty.stp script, I'm still missing the debug symbols package.
How do I get those on Arch? Or is there a better way of doing this?

This seems to operate on xsendevent which is blatantly ignored by the big toolkits for (not invalid) security concerns - not sure how this can have worked on the oher distro.
There no debug symbols, you'd have to build and use a custom, non-stripped kernel or maybe try the referenced https://github.com/tbocek/dvorak which seems the more robust and maintained approach.
