key-mapper VS input-remapper

This may help you!

Another option is key-mapper which runs as a systemd service and lets you map all kinds of things to other things.

Key-mapper

Being a previous windows user I have a mindset that I shouldn't download non mainstream or non trusted applications on my system especially the ones that have admin access or physical device access . I wanted to remap my keyboard in such way which allows me to use capslock key as backspace and alt_r key as escape. setxkbmap and Xmodmap isn't giving required results or I am not too advance to use it properly . I recently stumbled upon this program key-mapper but it requires admin access so should I trust it for daily use. ( I am not a developer and thus does not understand what any of the code does )

There's Key Mapper which I haven't tried yet (still on my 100% rubberdome at the moment so no need) but it looks very promising.

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.
