Questions about disabling key repeat for a keycode or a keysym

The value returned by `xkb_keymap_key_repeats()` is determined by the
keymap. In xkeyboard-config, it is "calculated" automatically by a
mechanism called "interprets" in the "compat" section, but it can also
be set directly for a given key in the "symbols" section. I can provide
more details if you want.

So to change whether a key repeats at all or not, at least as far as
xkbcommon goes, you need to modify the keymap (i.e. xkeyboard-config).
