Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
I haven't tried but it seems like you could use a keybinding daemon to effectively remap any application by changing layer in response to window focus changes.
See Ktrl + alt or Kmonad

KMonad gives you superpowers & you'll end up using it everyday
I found the configuration a bit confusing, and an alternative I ended up using is https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl.

It's 2021. There is still no option to rebind keys in a Paradox game
On Linux you could use ktrl layers to change the keyboard layout on the fly.
-
A way to set up different keymap for a specific usb keyboard ?
Maybe try ktrl
-
How to bind layout switching to separate key for each layout?
ktrl is based around this idea with layers.

Liberating the MacBook Air 2013 with Linux
FYI: You can enable them in Gnome with Gnome-Tweaks. Apparently a very recent version of Gnome dropped this functionality for reasons that are beyond my understanding (but that's often the case when I look at the decisions that the Gnome devs make).
However, getting the Control -> Command/Super thing to work is much trickier. The best way is to use this: https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail
However when I tried that, I ran into all kinds of weird behaviours all over the OS. Also, it doesn't work with Wayland.

Everything is gone. EVERYTHING
If the likes of https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail/issues/43 are still a going concern then it's not quite as "everywhere" as one would like, and I presume that issue is a fundamental one (i.e. it doesn't sound like XKeySnail gets first refusal on key events).
-
Emacs + a nice theme + editing features is awesome! (plus some questions about extra configuration)
And I use XKeySnail to have the basic Emacs keys everywhere. I'm sure there are others, but it does enough to keep me happy.
-
Would you still recommend EXWM in 2022?
https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail or the fork of it, I forget it's name, will allow you to do the same as exwm's simulation keys with any window manager.

What's the alternative of Authotkey ?
Thanks for the suggestion guys. I decided to go with xkeysnail ( https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail/ ). So far so good.
