Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Coolest projects, GO!
https://github.com/shiro/map2 - another neat remapper program. more complex and no gui but more scriptable

How to create shortcut to executable?
I've also used a remapper tool called map2 but for a different use-case. Map2 documentation links to some of the scan codes though which could be helpful if you end up having to map the function keys to something... not really sure how those work but I've used it to map multimedia keys on a logitech k400 htpc keyboard before.

Do you still miss anything from Windows?
Maybe map2 can do some things you need.

Need Help! Left Ctrl + C and Left Shift + C does not work
As a temporary workaround and probably a long shot: but if not hw related and you are getting the keypresses but they're being ignored... maybe you could get away with some keyboard remapping apps? Maybe map2 or kbct

Need help with rebinding CapsLock to ctrl+c (or better method if someone has better idea)
A linux alternative to AHK I made called map2 lets you do that easily, although there are other remapping projects as well.

Programs that are holding me back from completely switching to Linux (Manjaro)
for number 3: One way to bind mouse (keyboard, controller, etc.) keys similar to AHK is map2. It's significantly easier to use than Xorg keybindings and lets you do application specific bindings. Your can bind keys, key sequences and even complex actions such as scripts.

Map shell scripts to game controller button presses
I'm the author of map2 that lets you map keys to other keys, sequences and complex actions like running a script. I haven't tried it with wiimotes (but I will when I find some time) so one would have to inspect which key events are emitted in order to remap them.
-
Per-Program Mouse Button re-mapping
I'm the author of map2 which allows you to write simple scripts to remap buttons (incl. mouse), also you can do so per application. It's very flexible, but might require some programming skills, I recommend reading the docs and check the examples folder (there is a logitech mouse example too).

Remapped keyboard settings isn't respected by some games
Mapping thorough X11 might not work everywhere and it's clunky. I'm the author of map2, it lets you do AHK-style key remapping and scripting on evdev level (meaning it's below X11 or wayland), so it works everywhere.

Show HN: Chrome Reaper
While I believe Memory Saver was a great improvement, it only works if the tab is hidden or the window minimized. I recently learned the required state is not triggered if the tab is open but on another virtual desktop. At least this is the case with many of not all Linux window managers. Some of the many discussion threads on the topic:

Firefox 121 defaults to Wayland on Linux
> This is very true, and unfortunately there are very few people working on linux accessibility (including not me! I am part of the problem!).
Accessibility work itself ironically suffers from an accessibility problem. I brought up i3wm above, the issue for that is pretty illuminating: https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/3393
It's not that the devs are saying "this doesn't matter", the devs behind one of the most popular tiling window managers in the X11 ecosystem are saying, "this does matter, but we don't know how to fix it. We don't know what changes we'd need to make to get Orca working."
It's a really fundamental breakdown that's kind of a tragedy because I honestly believe that if accessibility communities were more heavily baked into testing and development in Linux and if this wasn't treated like two separate worlds, it would be better for everyone -- fixing accessibility concerns very often improves interfaces across the board and makes them more powerful.
But... how do you bridge that gap? I don't really know, I tried looking into Orca to see what would need to happen here and bounced off of it pretty hard, it's not a very approachable tech stack and there aren't tutorials or getting started guides. And on the other side of the issue I can preach about needing accessibility input during interface design, but I'm not in a position to give specific advice because I don't use screenreaders or alternate control schemes and I don't know what the biggest problems are.
The people who need to be involved in that process can't get involved because there's a tech barrier in place even for technically inclined people, and because the underlying software locks them out from the start. i3wm isn't ever going to get someone who's intimately familiar with Orca to jump into the conversation because the people who need to use Orca can't use i3wm. So that leaves the people who can address that tech barrier, but they don't know what to do or how to approach the problem because of the lack of involvement and because the communities are isolated from each other. So it's a chicken-and-egg problem and I don't know how to solve it.

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?
I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development.

The future of /r/i3wm
Even though, we have moved the official i3 support channel to GitHub discussions, i3's biggest community is still on reddit and if things continue like that there is going to be a lot of helpful content on an increasingly closed platform.

Machine for pentesting and general use?
For daily usage I really like kubuntu with i3wm, but it takes some configuration and getting used to the shortcuts, but it's well worth it
What are some alternatives?
kbct - Keyboard keycode mapping utility for Linux supporting layered configuration
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
clipmenu - Clipboard management using dmenu
awesome - awesome window manager
piper - GTK application to configure gaming devices
bspwm - A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning
keyboard_layout_optimizer - A keyboard layout optimizer supporting multiple layers. Implemented in Rust.
wslg - Enabling the Windows Subsystem for Linux to include support for Wayland and X server related scenarios
