I just use either emacs or neovim to edit the configuration. Kanata can run on top of your xkb layout. So I use that to select one of the 3 readily-available keyboard layouts. Kanata manages 2 layers on top of that. Both layers a very sparse and mostly just pass the keystrokes transparently to xkb. Layer 1 is almost entirely pass-through, except for one tap-dance key to switch layers. It behaves more or less like a native xkb keyboard. Layer 2 adds some useful features like home-row-mods.
