Show HN: I spent a year designing an low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
I had a similar problem with the Tecurs KB510 I got at work. The only way I found to type F1-F12 keys on Linux was to set up a hack with kbct [0] and the Super key... until I tried the configuration described in the gist you linked. Thanks a lot for that !

Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: Touchpad Gestures Now Shipping
>Creating a "standardized experience" like Windows usually means that configurability goes right out the window. It's how you get abominations like dconf or the GNOME music player
I don't understand how you connected these dots and I'd suggest against calling things abominations. You don't have to use dconf or the GNOME music player, those aren't standardized. If someone does like them I think they're perfectly fine, they do exactly what they're advertised to do. It's also fine if you don't like them, they're just two options from the many configuration databases and media players that you can choose from.
>But why shouldn't I be able to run xbindkeys or sxhkd or whatever hotkey dameon I want?
In some ways you actually can but it depends on the hotkey daemon and how it's implemented. The reason for that is technical, those are implemented with X grabs which have a number of usability and security issues. There are a few key rebinding daemons that use evdev directly so they work with Wayland:
https://github.com/samvel1024/kbct
https://github.com/snyball/Hawck
But these also do have similar security issues to X key grabs, in that they effectively operate as keyloggers. If you're looking for an API that works purely within Wayland and lets unprivileged clients request key rebinding, that doesn't exist yet. Somebody would need to specify what that API looks like and figure out a good way to make it secure. What would the end goal of the API be, and how could the system (and by extension, the user) tell the difference between a legitimate hotkey daemon and a malicious keylogger? And would it actually be any better than the approach of snooping evdev? I don't know the answer to these questions but you may have more experience with this than I do.

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

š„MK: 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 š„MK 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 š

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.).
