Caps Lock issue with Colemak layout in Xorg

Question

Apologies if this is a silly problem; I'm rather new to linux in general. I'm trying to set up the US and Colemak layouts, and be able toggle between them. Ideally, caps lock will act as a second backspace in Colemak, and as it normally does in US.
The problem seems to be strictly with the secondary layout. If Colemak is second, then caps lock backspaces as it should, but is also toggled on or off each press. If US is second, then, instead of toggling, caps lock behaves as a backspace. This occurs both in xfce4, and before, at the lxdm log-in screen.
This is how I have it set up with setxkbmap:
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,us -variant colemak, -option grp:shifts_toggle
Or in an Xorg conf.:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbVariant" "colemak,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shifts_toggle"
EndSection

Answer 1

The kind people from the IRC channel suggested I add this bit at the very end of the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file (instead of "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf" - tho it would've probably worked that way too):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ro"
Option "XkbVariant" "std"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle, grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
Apparently it works. I just have to hold AltGr and press s, q , a, i, t, etc to type ș â ă î ț etc. But how do I set it to ; { } ] ' ", etc, like the default behaviour in Windows... ? I would like them to correspond to this layout.
Because this is not the "standard" ("std") version...
I may have to edit the "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ro" file to map them.
Unless there's a better way ?
