I have several stumbling blocks, but here is one:
In a US keyboard variant called "Noah" I need to swap the locations of
the "B" and Caps_Lock keys. I added this to the end of
usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us:
xkb_symbols "noah" {
  name[Group1]= "USA - Noah Ergonomic";
  include "pc(noah)"
    key <CAPS> { [ b,             B           ] };
    key <AB05> { [ Caps_Lock   ] };
};

And I added this to the end of /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc:
partial  modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "noah" {
   modifier_map Lock { <AB05> };
};

However, now in the regular variant (not Noah) the B key is an
additional Caps_Lock key! So typing the word "keyboard" returns
"keybOARD". How can I restrict the redefined Caps_Lock key to only
modify the Noah variant?

Thanks, but I do need the Noah layout to be either an additional
variant of US or it's own layout as I need the standard US layout (and
two others) to be available for on-the-fly switching.

Thanks!
