kinto VS kmonad

If you like macOS keyboard shortcuts, I recommend you checkout Kinto go Windows and Linux. On Windows, Kinto used AHK

https://kinto.sh

However, at least when I set it up Kinto did not provide switching windows I’m this fashion. Here is the script I use.

```

    ; BRING FORWARD ALL WINDOWS OF THE CURRENT APPLICATION

The project was based on another project that's been around for a few years called Kinto, by Ben Reaves, which notably also has a Windows version (https://kinto.sh) using AutoHotkey. But has no Wayland support (at this time) in its Linux version.

Toshy is based on Kinto.sh, by Ben Reaves (https://kinto.sh or https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto). Kinto is basically an extensive keymapper config that not only shifts modifier keys appropriately for different keyboard types, but has full keymaps for a number of different apps like VSCode. My variant of Kinto adds some features and utilities for managing the services that make it work, and tools like a script to change the function keys mode of any keyboard that uses hid_apple. That means MacBook keyboards mostly, but also some non-Apple keyboards with media keys apparently use that driver module.

I don’t know if you can activate it via a keyboard shortcut, but I use Kinto.sh to swap keys on my MacBooks.

Hello, there's an open issue about this in their repo: https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/issues/772

There is a setting in keyboard preferences for that.However if you can get yourself used to macOS shortcuts I highly recommend doing so as they seem to be superior especially if you are a programmer and use the terminal a lot, as on macOS you can simply use Command+C to copy from a terminal and Ctrl+C still works for sending SIGINT. Also Command+, will open preferences for almost every application on macOS. Shortcuts on macOS are very consistent across many apps unlike on Linux or Windows. After you get your Linux laptop back you can continue using these shortcuts thanks to a tool called kinto.sh.

Tangential: I'm currently looking for a way to map Mac-style shortcuts on Linux (e. g. Meta + C/V for copy / paste). The only thing I know is https://kinto.sh/, but it looks a bit too janky to my taste. Any other ideas?

And nothing about installing my https://kinto.sh app?

have you actually tried that? afaik they don't get you the perfect home row mods due to some limitations re. how they implement the tap vs hold logic

I use kmonad[1] to have QMK-like functionality on any keyboard.

You can create F13-F24 purely in software with key mapping tools. On Windows, one way is with the PowerToys Keyboard Manager: remap some unimportant keys to F13, F14, etc. Another way is with KMonad (cross platform), and define the keymap with KeyF13, KeyF14, etc.

There you have the software link : https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad

Other option I would suggest for any linux user with keyboards without QMK is to try KMonad https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad
