AutoKey VS xremap

I use AutoKey on Linux. It's less powerful than AHK but uses native Python which is nice: https://github.com/autokey/autokey

On Linux, the more direct equivalent to AHK is the similarly named AutoKey. AHK itself is never going to be cross-platform, due to the low-level it interacts specifically with Windows, but AutoKey is the Linux equivalent, designed to interact low-level with Linux in a similar way to AHK on Windows.

You can also try remapping mouse buttons. I use autohotkey to remap the middle clock to the right click. Autohotkey is windows only, but there is autokey which might help if you are a heavy middle click user like me

GitHub - autokey/autokey: AutoKey, a desktop automation utility for Linux and X11.

I'm using this successfully: https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap

I could use some external key remappers like xremap. But I'm already using kanata and I can't use two key remappers for the same keyboards (kanata (or kmonad for that matter) doesn't allow application-specific remaps).

If they are, it seems that https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap should also work.

k0kubun/xremap worked on ChromeOS (developer mode).

As far as binding the J,K,H,L keys, have you considered using xremap? I use it the same way for a VIM like modifier.

I find xremap to be much friendlier.

Have a look at xremap for a general solution (X, Wayland, ...) to set up global key chords

keyd looks pretty nice. I have been using xremap (https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap/) to do the following remaps:
