I love keyd, it uses uinput so it works on the vtty too.

Re: A key remapping daemon for Linux
#32This is fantastic! I wish window/app selection in Wayland was better. On my Mac I use a combination of Phoenix and Hyperkey to capture capslock + key combinations, (e.g. cap+f for Firefox) which when pressed, either open an app of my choice it not already open, or bring it to the front of the stack. Last time I looked into it window and app selection in Wayland just didn’t work.
I use https://github.com/houmain/keymapper to achieve the same thing, Meta + W: open or switch through existing Firefox windows, Meta + Z: open or switch through existing Terminal Windows, etc.
It works on Wayland from my understanding, but I'm using X11 as my daily driver.

#33I find this kind of keyboard remapping essential when using a laptop now that I'm used to using an external keyboard with QMK firmware at my desk (though these days I use Kmonad).
My framework 16 has a QMK firmware and can be remapped with complex setups.
But I didn't find any cool use case for it, what do you use it for ?

#34I've been using kmonad[1] on my laptop for years which looks similar. Highly recommend it, it's brilliant.
