unsnap VS map2

Might I suggest unsnap?

This seems very similar to Alan Pope's unsnap project - Is there anything you're doing differently? https://github.com/popey/unsnap

If you are referring to this project, then I'm sorry to tell you that you got it wrong.

Reminder that if you don't like snaps, it's pretty easy to migrate away using: https://github.com/popey/unsnap

Might check out https://github.com/popey/unsnap

You can just use this to remove snap tho: https://github.com/popey/unsnap

How? Should I follow these instructions? https://github.com/popey/unsnap

The best Debian/Ubuntu-based distro that uses Plasma would probably be Kubuntu with unsnap if you're not a snap fan.

If snaps are your only issue, don't leave Ubuntu. Look into unsnap (https://github.com/popey/unsnap). Determine if your lag is snap related.

Snaps are so bad that one of Canonical's star employees left and tweeted about snap issues saying that "They get ignored or dismissed. The CTO flat doesn't believe there's a problem. The team is understanffed and there is no motivation from IoT and enterprise focused people to fix desktop problems. Been trying from the inside for years. I gave up hope and left.". Same guy later went on to create the unsnap repo on github which helps users find replacements for their snap packages among flatpaks etc - and this wasn't a "jaded employee" thing so much as him trying to look out for users' best interests. Good on him.

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

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.

Maybe map2 can do some things you need.

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

A linux alternative to AHK I made called map2 lets you do that easily, although there are other remapping projects as well.

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.

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.

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).

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.
