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.

A kernel update broke my stylus
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.

Introducing: Ken-Do - A desktop-agnostic version of my Fly-Pie GNOME Shell extension!
Yeah, this could work on Windows or X11 but will be very tricky if not impossible on Wayland. Maybe it could be possible with an approach similar to input remapper...

You could also try OpenTableDriver or Input Remapper. The latter is a more general tool, while the former... Well, the name speaks for itself.

Any chance somebody here has bludgeoned the sezanzeb/input-remapper project on GH to work on void?
If I understand https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/issues/122 right it should work without systemd. Just start it manually (I guess that's the sudo key-mapper-service -d part) and see what happens. If it does not work, look at the error messages and go from there.
I use some strange layouts on vintage keyboards and don't always go though the trouble of converting them all to qmk. I found this project sezanzeb/input-remapper and used to use it from the AUR when I was on Arch. It made things pretty straightforward since layouts were input device specific and non global making this rather convenient for me.
What are some alternatives?
