I wrote wiki article for Gentoo about Github
"rvaiya/keyd" tool for keys rebinding, written in C
language.

This tool allow rebinding per application and works for
X11 and Wayland. Some limitations exist but tools is
flexible enough to implement Emacs keys.

I partially implemented Emacs selection mode, all Emacs
keys that I frequently use to control Firefox was
sucessfully implemented. Kyed works good.

Keyd have security hole for privilege escalation if run
from user environment, I sucessfully solve this by
rinning critical script with sudo command without
allowing user access.

I was in search for way to rebind keys in Wayland. For
X11 I use “x-set-keys”. I tied “xkb keymap” approach but
it lack of ability to suppress original sequence, two
combinations activated at the same time.

There is xremap but it have hell of Rust
dependencies. kmonad/kmonad is good, but it is a little
hard to control Haskell dependencies.

Finally I came to github.com/rvaiya/keyd written in C++
without any dependencies.

I rebinded keys in Wayland with help of
“keyd-application-mapper” script that part of keyd, this
script allow to activate keyd per application-window.

keyd allow complex keys sequences and chords, I was able
to configure Emacs selection mode in Firefox.

I've been getting a lot of these minor inconvenience messages from my Karabiner MacOS key remapping software in the last 3 months or so. Anybody else? Any ideas why? karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/do

Finally I figured out how Karabiner-Elements works and now I am able to reconfigure these weird macos keyboard mappings as I like.

If you do not know, Karabiner-Elements is an open source application to remap keys and shortcuts. You can do pretty complex stuff with it.

So, I was looking into #libratbag to configure my fancy Logitech mouse in #Linux.

Only I don't want to change the mouse's onboard settings, I want that like it is. I don't need the application detection LGS can do, I just want transient software remapping (but only for the mouse, I don't want the mappings applying to my keyboard too), the way LGS does.

Well, it turns out libratbag doesn't do that! Anyone know of an alternative? Per-keyboard remapping, maybe?
