xkeysnail VS awesome-wayland

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.

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).

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.

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.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I decided to go with xkeysnail ( https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail/ ). So far so good.

Similar options for Linux users are keyd and xkeysnail

https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail or something similar ?

Bind everything you want: https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail

xkeysnail is not bad in the two sense, however, there are some application do can distinguish them, say, chrome and neovide

If you're using x11, there's xkeysnail

Yup. Here is an example list of things you can swap around. https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland

You didn't say whether your current config is based on X or Wayland therefore two links with Wayland applications. Are we Wsyland yet and awesome wayland

plenty others of all sorts.

> auto keyboard/mouse scripting with xdotool

There's a few tools for this: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland#tools

> not have unnecessary mouse/keyboard to monitor delay

There's none that I can notice. Mice cursor are rendered with hardware support

Here's one of many forks of an awesome-wayland repository that lists what's going on: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland

customization isn't killed, it just takes time to adapt to a new protocol. check out all the stuff you can do with wayland

More specifically, see: awesome-wayland and arewewaylandyet. Sway-addons also has interesting stuff in it, like wl-clipboard which is mostly compatible with Klipper.
