XKB group keymaps can be shown up as far as four and ibus's first keymap engine has the combined keymap and the 2nd to 4th keymap engines has one mono keymap. E.g. if you configure the group layout as 'us(euro),us,jp', the first keymap is 'us(euro),us,jp' and the second is 'us' and the third is 'jp'.
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't even notice the first keymap is combined.
Probably I think the combined keymap is needed so that XKB option keys work with/without ibus.
Maybe I don't understand the situation you are thinking of, do you mean, say, even if ctrl:nocaps/ctrl:swapcaps is set for the second keymap, "Caps_Lock+Space" wouldn't work as "Control+Space"?
I don't think to show XKB options on menu GUI due to the limited menu width. I agree to think the better label for the combined keymap. Hmm.. E.g. the first variant and number but 'English (euro x 3)' might mislead all keymaps have euro variant. Maybe 'English (euro, ∅, ∅)' ?
How about showing it more explicitly as combined, like "Keyboard (en(euro), en, ja)" ?
