I think I remember reading that and forgetting it. I've been trying to
use the linux showkey command, which is only of marginal use.

Yeah. Progress. I think I prefer -kbd-translate, but it's good to have
options, and some people with a Japanese keyboard may prefer the
physical layout to be as close as possible, which isn't quite, since
the enter key is big and there are no keys to the right of it.

Anyway, here's what I have so far, after looking at the output of
-debug-ui -1 and playing with it a bit:

static struct sym_dkey_mapping keymap_jp[] = {
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_minus, .dkey = DSCAN_COLON },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_asciicircum, .dkey = DSCAN_MINUS },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_at, .dkey = DSCAN_AT },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_semicolon, .dkey = DSCAN_SEMICOLON },
/*    { .sym = GDK_KEY_grave, .dkey = DSCAN_CLEAR, .priority = 1 }, /
* Is it necessary? */
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_comma, .dkey = DSCAN_COMMA },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_period, .dkey = DSCAN_FULL_STOP },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_slash, .dkey = DSCAN_SLASH },
/* Non-Dragon keys, redundant: */
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_colon, .dkey = DSCAN_COLON },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_bracketleft, .dkey = DSCAN_DOWN },
    { .sym = GDK_KEY_bracketright, .dkey = DSCAN_RIGHT },
/* Gotta be a better use for this. Is there a way to tie it to the backslash? */
/*    { .sym = GDK_KEY_backslash, .dkey = DSCAN_BACKSPACE }, */
};

Here's the picture of the keyboard again, for reference:
