Would be nice to set the initial state for modifiers.

I think that needs a new export in wlroots, maybe wlr_keyboard_set_modifiers to complement wlr_keyboard_get_modifiers.

What do you think of having numlock on by default (ie. if there's nothing in the config to say otherwise)?

The new default behavior is not fun on many laptop keyboards, where the "number pad" reuses U, I, O, J, K, L, and other keys.
Also on most systems, isn't the default numlock value configurable in the BIOS? I don't know of any other window manager that defaults to messing with numlock.

Most other window managers also aren't in charge of your entire input stack. But fair point, we should probably turn this off by default.

I made a PR that changes this behavior: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/2371
