dvorak VS map2

Finally, if you're worried about shortcuts such as Ctrl + C, don't worry. On Mac there's a layout called Dvorak-Qwerty ⌘, which changes to Qwerty when you hold down the ⌘ key. For Linux and Windows, there's this, https://github.com/kentonv/dvorak-qwerty, this one is linux only: https://github.com/tbocek/dvorak, and this one is windows only: https://github.com/chid/dvorak-qwerty/tree/master/dverty. I can't verify the windows ones but the linux ones work great.

There are three installs mentioned, the X grabs method, the system tap method, and the udev method in this linked repository https://github.com/tbocek/dvorak

My main problem has been with my dwm binds, I can't function without them, but I've found a fix! https://github.com/tbocek/dvorak this changes to qwerty when you hold alt, which is a lifesaver for me.

It is possible to emulate Dvorak with QWERTY commands on Linux, though it's a but hacky. I've found this to work flawlessly in every app I've tried: https://github.com/tbocek/Dvorak. I hear it may not work with some apps like games that just read scan codes directly but then one doesn't tend to use shortcuts combos in most games.

https://github.com/shiro/map2 - another neat remapper program. more complex and no gui but more scriptable

I've also used a remapper tool called map2 but for a different use-case. Map2 documentation links to some of the scan codes though which could be helpful if you end up having to map the function keys to something... not really sure how those work but I've used it to map multimedia keys on a logitech k400 htpc keyboard before.

Maybe map2 can do some things you need.

As a temporary workaround and probably a long shot: but if not hw related and you are getting the keypresses but they're being ignored... maybe you could get away with some keyboard remapping apps? Maybe map2 or kbct

A linux alternative to AHK I made called map2 lets you do that easily, although there are other remapping projects as well.

for number 3: One way to bind mouse (keyboard, controller, etc.) keys similar to AHK is map2. It's significantly easier to use than Xorg keybindings and lets you do application specific bindings. Your can bind keys, key sequences and even complex actions such as scripts.

I'm the author of map2 that lets you map keys to other keys, sequences and complex actions like running a script. I haven't tried it with wiimotes (but I will when I find some time) so one would have to inspect which key events are emitted in order to remap them.

I'm the author of map2 which allows you to write simple scripts to remap buttons (incl. mouse), also you can do so per application. It's very flexible, but might require some programming skills, I recommend reading the docs and check the examples folder (there is a logitech mouse example too).

Mapping thorough X11 might not work everywhere and it's clunky. I'm the author of map2, it lets you do AHK-style key remapping and scripting on evdev level (meaning it's below X11 or wayland), so it works everywhere.
