It isn't a bug (see other post).

Let's do it !

(a) Kill KT_LATIN & KT_LETTER, and just use Unicode.

(b) Update the namespace.  Possible candidates:

       sym/label    type         modifier

   (1) GK_ENTER     GKT_SPEC     GKM_ALTGR
   (2) GGIK_ENTER   GGIKT_SPEC   GGIKM_ALTGR
   (3) GGI_K_ENTER  GGI_KT_SPEC  GGI_KM_ALTGR

What's the preferred one ?  [I vote (3)]

Cheers...
