keymap-editor VS evsieve

The difference is: https://nickcoutsos.github.io/keymap-editor/ Click the firmware generated button which takes you directly to the action tab for the latest build. Then clicking to download firmware.

Looks nice. I can recommend the following graphical configurator: https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

I haven't looked into QMK configurators because if I go to the trouble of building a keeb I'd go all out and make it wireless. I did look at [keymap editor](https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor) for ZMK, which could be close enough to Oryx for me to try sometime.

The only other thing I could recommend in that case is custom built; it's easier than you'd think, and some people have made GUI interfaces for ZMK like this: https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

I know ZMK does not have an official one, but there's one that uses github actions in order to build a firmware for you after you commit your keymap. That's probably the closest we'll have to zmk configurator for a while https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor

I think the closest thing at the moment is https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor.

Looking forwards: the chosen bootloader should support over-the-air updates, and GUI front-ends for ZMK do exist, albeit with varying maturity. 1 2

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:

My best suggestion for you is to leverage evsieve: https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve

There are many other software tools such as https://github.com/jtroo/kanata and https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve. The main difference with 𝑥MK is that you can use native QMK and ZMK.

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.

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.

Evsieve is amazing in general you sould check it out 🙂

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.

evsieve can remap. I haven't used it yet but you can find it here: https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve

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.).
