keyd VS klfc

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.

I recently started using Asahi Linux on my M1 mac. I installed Fedora 39 Server and I use sway as my wm but these issues with keyd https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd appear even before I start sway.

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

I'm using both [keyd](https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) to remap some keys (Hold Capslock -> Hold Ctrl, and Press Capslock -> Press Esc) and espanso to insert some snippet.

Try https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd works really well for linux.

There's some customizations I did with keyd that could be useful for others. See here

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.

I use https://github.com/39aldo39/klfc in my scripts to generate the OS-specific files for ANSI layouts. I convert the KLA json to their format. There may be bugs in that process. Checking it is on to-do list.

On Windows I am using DreymaR's extend layer to navigate in Vim using the directional keys on JKLI (qwerty). On Linux I used KLFC to create a custom keyboard replicating that of Dreymar's, I just tweaked a few keys on the examples folder to better suit my needs.

The OTHER Big News is that I now have install files for basic ANSI layouts. They are in Alpha/Beta state, I have not tested them and will welcome feedback. They are generated via the Keyboard Layout Files Creator @ https://github.com/39aldo39/klfc

The diaeresis appears on the bépo layout by default. It also has Greek letters, like say Σ. I have extended bépo by setting Caps Lock to work as a modifier key, so I get twice as much space. Every time I meet a new symbol I want to have, I put it somewhere on the keyboard. klfc is a fantastic tool for this.

How did you create your custom layout? I already found out about klfc, but 1. It doesn't work on wayland, 2. It's not entirely clear to me how to use this tool.

KLE .json has a lot of issues. Den and I have started talking about what we need. Probably needs a wider group. There is already this project as well as Kalamine
