Why is the ydotool virtual device ignored? How I can use ydotool with hyprland?
Same with evsieve: I can see the keys I press, like in wev, but the remap doesn't work for the keyboard or the mouse:
-
evdev keyboard passthrough and non-standard keys
My best suggestion for you is to leverage evsieve: https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
There are many other software tools such as https://github.com/jtroo/kanata and https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve. The main difference with 𝑥MK is that you can use native QMK and ZMK.

Anyone Here Using Sway? Is It Stable? How Did You Install?
Ironically I know you can do this in i3 and xorg/gnome using xmodmap or editing the xkb file. I'm pretty sure wayland compositors should be able to read xkb-compliant files but the recommended way of loading that in is probabaly different between various compositors? You could also use a "second generation" interception tool that works at the event device level.

Manjaro + Hackintosh + Windows Setup
You might want to try evsieve, it even has an example about toggling devices and it concludes with a hint on how to get this to work for 2 VMs.

Change evdev toggle for keyboard/mouse
Evsieve is amazing in general you sould check it out 🙂
-
Switching my inputs back and forth from guest VM when using GPU passthrough
evsieve has solved that for me, as the virtual device created is always available; it starts when I log on my computer and stay open forever.
-
Changing the evdev peripheral switch keyboard shortcut?
evsieve can remap. I haven't used it yet but you can find it here: https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve
-
Is it possible to remap evdev's keybindings to return to Host?
If this feels a bit limited (you have a few predefined options), there's also evsieve. Which allows you to do a lot more (like selective key pass-through, shortcuts, etc.).

𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
With QMK Kernel Module one could skip MCU altogether and just use one Linux SBC. But sadly that module is not maintained.
-
Designing a even more esoteric music tracker than the Dirtywave M8 using the ardux.io layout
Currently I'm trying to get the qmk linux kernal module up and working properly. Is there any recent projects or documentation on using a rpi0 for keyboards? I could write out a device tree program, but that would be a pretty big headache.
-
Hijack QMK output?
My ideal scenario here would be to just use a pi 0 as the controller fully, but from what I can tell, the only real options for that are attempt to extend/iterate the kernel module that u/jackhumbert wrote for fun as it isn't feature complete qmk or write something in circuitpython or similar. Given the choice I'd rather not reinvent the wheel and just have full fat qmk on tap.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing evsieve and qmk_kernel_module you can also consider the following projects:
ydotool - Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)
xmk - Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.
evdev-proxy - Creates virtual device to proxy evdev devices events
keyd - A key remapping daemon for linux.
barrier - Open-source KVM software
keymap-editor - A web based graphical editor of ZMK keymaps.
kbct - Keyboard keycode mapping utility for Linux supporting layered configuration
kiri - KIRI - Keyboard Interception, Remapping, and Injection using Raspberry Pi as an HID Proxy.
hotplugger - VirtIO (VFIO) USB Port passthrough helper
vfio-kvm - A systemd service that sends a D-Bus signal when the QEMU evdev hotkey is triggered.
