No. That would mean a lot of keymapSSS. Doing it the keymap way would require to have us, us-revert-left, us-revert-right, en-uk, uk-revert-left, uk-revert-right, etc. I really don't like that approach, thus the "independently of the configured keymap". This really is a problem that is orthogonal to keymaps: I'm here talking about _physical_ keys remapping, not remapping what is printed on them (which is done after that).
