keymap clearing VT switching from windowkeys

Switching to VT often, this has bugged me a lot recently. Now i pinpointed the problem, turns out there are several:
1. /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/defkeymap.map.gz contains
> keycode 125 = Decr_Console Last_Console Incr_Console Compose
> keycode 126 = Incr_Console Last_Console Decr_Console Compose
> keycode 127 = Compose Decr_Console Incr_Console Last_Console
and loading another keymap over that will NOT clear those; loadkeys only overrides if defined.
=> create /usr/share/keymaps/i386/include/nowindowkeys.map.gz
2. /etc/init.d/keymaps is unaware of this =>
-        yesno $windowkeys && wkeys="windowkeys" || wkeys="nowindowkeys"
+        yesno $windowkeys && wkeys="windowkeys"
3. Explanation of the variable in /etc/conf.d/keymaps is po0r - don't tell me what i want, tell me what it does! =>
-# Should we first load the 'windowkeys' console keymap?  Most x86 users will
-# say "yes" here.  Note that non-x86 users should leave it as "no".
+# Setting 'windowkeys' to "yes" will enable VT switching (like ALT+Left/Right)
+# using the special windows keys on the linux console, "no" will disable it.

Now finally accidentally VT switching doesn't trouble me any more. Sheesh, lol ;)

Please paste your `emerge --info' output in a comment.

emerge --info

hardly relevant, but here it is.

1) I asked you to paste it into a comment. But OK, let's move on.
2) Whether it's relevant to supply basic information as requested in your opinion isn't relevant. I can refer you to our bug reporting documentation - but otherwise it's not relevant here.
3) Why on Earth did you sort the output?

base-system, what can you suggest for this part of the issue?

The code looks like this in openrc-0.8.0.

Now we tell you what you want _and_ what it does.

I am assigning to base-system since this now is an issue with kbd.
Comment 5 Nuno Silva 2019-11-20 10:12:55 UTC
I can reproduce this with openrc-0.41.2. Any news on this bug?
Comment 6 charles17 2020-12-25 07:52:40 UTC
Changing from windowkeys="YES" to windowkeys="NO" and rebooting has no effect unless I manually rm /lib/rc/console/keymap before reboot.
