autokey-emacs-config VS xkeysnail

But i found another set of bindings here which didn't have the same issue https://github.com/psederberg/autokey-emacs-config which also supports some sort of marking, but i am dubious about how well it works.

Finally, I've been using Autokey recently, with some emacs bindings (I've been changing these around, but great starting point): https://github.com/psederberg/autokey-emacs-config

FYI: You can enable them in Gnome with Gnome-Tweaks. Apparently a very recent version of Gnome dropped this functionality for reasons that are beyond my understanding (but that's often the case when I look at the decisions that the Gnome devs make).

However, getting the Control -> Command/Super thing to work is much trickier. The best way is to use this: https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail

However when I tried that, I ran into all kinds of weird behaviours all over the OS. Also, it doesn't work with Wayland.

If the likes of https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail/issues/43 are still a going concern then it's not quite as "everywhere" as one would like, and I presume that issue is a fundamental one (i.e. it doesn't sound like XKeySnail gets first refusal on key events).

And I use XKeySnail to have the basic Emacs keys everywhere. I'm sure there are others, but it does enough to keep me happy.

https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail or the fork of it, I forget it's name, will allow you to do the same as exwm's simulation keys with any window manager.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I decided to go with xkeysnail ( https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail/ ). So far so good.

Similar options for Linux users are keyd and xkeysnail

https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail or something similar ?

Bind everything you want: https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail

xkeysnail is not bad in the two sense, however, there are some application do can distinguish them, say, chrome and neovide

If you're using x11, there's xkeysnail
