kanata VS input-remapper

Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards.

QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I reluctantly settled on the Logitech K860[2] and I'm now happily using my favourite features from QMK with kanata at the software level.

[2]: If I'm behind the times and there is now a QMK-compatible keyboard that looks like this, please let me know!

This is not in Emacs, but if I can't modify my keyboard's firmware (e.g on a laptop), I use Kanata https://github.com/jtroo/kanata. It works by creating a virtual keyboard in Linux (and uses a filter driver or process hooks in Windows), so it can work in any program as they just see a normal keyboard.

Besides the better caps word (by the way, you can have it in software in Win/Linux apps like https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#c...) you can also toggle capslock with e.g. a double tap while having on-hold functionality to the more useful Control, so you still wouldn't need to hold any modifier key

One particular approach that one might find it interesting is how the configuration is laid out (using S-expression from Lisps).

Kanata[0] is amazing. It support both Linux and Windows. But I'm yet to try it on windows because my majority work is on linux.

I got my G29 working, but I am using a T-LCM which isn't correctly recognized. I installed Input Remapper but it's not recognized.

Perhaps GitHub - sezanzeb/input-remapper: 🎮 ⌨ An easy to use tool to change the behaviour of your input devices. will do?

OK, I will byte, have you tried Input Remapper[1] ?

I think most of your problem is coming from using Rocky Linux, it is much easier to find support on Ubuntu derivatives for tools made by the community in general.

- Input Remapper: Custom hotkeys & remapping of keys (with Wayland support)

Then you can use something like input-remapper to do whatever you want.

Ask upstream?

However I want my system to be automatically remapped at boot. Input Remapper installs a systemd service by default and I found that someone wrote an OpenRC init script for it, so I created a file called input-remapper in etc/init.d, copied the text of the script into it, saved it, then used chmod +x on it, so it has the same attributes as other init scripts.
