(Found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkbset/+bug/215496) But it just does not work for me?
#!/usr/bin/env bash
setxkbmap -layout "us"
xkbset -sticky twokey
[user@hostname:/etc/nixos]$ ./sticky_shift.sh 
WARNING: Running setxkbmap against an Xwayland server
https://stackoverflow.com/a/36066855/17820864 Found this but for AutoHotKey and that is available for Windows and there seems to be an option for Linux but seems like the version is old. I am running X11 but I am trying to go for Wayland if that can help. I will be happy if anything works like I requested. **NixOS 24.05**
