wayremap VS keyd

No. But there are solutions (which I haven’t used my self). See: https://github.com/acro5piano/wayremap

Perhaps something like Wayremap?

Is saw Wayremap announced earlier today. It sounded like it'd offer the functionality, but perhaps not under the circumstances you request.

This was amusing in a good way. I did write a few parsers in Ruby back in the day, the experience taught me that we already have the best syntax possible at our disposal, why not just lean on it. You get so much more when you don't have to leave Ruby. I find myself reaching for a DSL whenever I have to deal with a lot of less-expressive code / configuration.

I'll write generators that take a DSL as input and spit out the mountain of boring stuff. Last time was to deal with keyd's[1] homegrown syntax, which is powerful, but not expressive. I made a gist for the curious.[2]

Before finding keyd, I also took this approach with Xbindkeys config, and was on my way to wrapping Kubernetes in nice, friendly Ruby before I got canned.

Putting all of these together you get a layered keyboard layout. You can find many samples on keymapdb.com, including Kenkyo, the layout I put together during my journey learning all the concepts discussed in this article. There you will find examples on how to properly implement HRMs, using software like Kanata and keyd, as well as opinionated implementations of the aforementioned custom layers, which you can use as is or as inspiration for your own layers.

I use a combination of Dygma Defy with its awesome thumb cluster, along with macros for frequent series of letters (think “tion” and such) as well as chords using https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd/ . And I use the Optimot layout because I’m French, for English speakers, Dvorak is probably enough.

I wanted this exact thing (Caps Lock -> End), and https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd works.

It runs in the background as a systemd service, and the config is just:

```

Unfortunately, xcape only works for X11. When I moved to sway I had to find another solution. I’ve tried a few different options and I’ve settled on keyd.

I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

I recently started using Asahi Linux on my M1 mac. I installed Fedora 39 Server and I use sway as my wm but these issues with keyd https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd appear even before I start sway.

This is great. Is it possible to somehow use it with keyd, as I don't use autohotkey?

I'm using both [keyd](https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) to remap some keys (Hold Capslock -> Hold Ctrl, and Press Capslock -> Press Esc) and espanso to insert some snippet.

Try https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd works really well for linux.
