Should You trust a keyboard re 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 )
- how do you disable middle click paste in kde/wayland?
- I wanted to indulge in nostalgia so I created this useless 3D desktop cube extension :)
- Finally somebody made a simple GUI tool to customize keyboard mappings, mouse buttons, gamepads, pedals and other input devices. Actions, macros, combinations.

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.

Godot founders had desperately hoped Unity wouldn't 'blow up'
I wanted this exact thing (Caps Lock -> End), and https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd works.
It runs in the background as a systemd service, and the config is just:

Improving keyboard ergonomics through dual use keymapping
Unfortunately, xcape only works for X11. When I moved to sway I had to find another solution. I’ve tried a few different options and I’ve settled on keyd.

Key remapping to vim navigation and more
I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

This is great. Is it possible to somehow use it with keyd, as I don't use autohotkey?

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
On Linux, I use keyd[1] and while I understand that keyd itelf could never run on the Mac, I'd love something that could take my keyd conf and make it work (even approximately) on the Mac.
