xkeysnail VS keyd

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

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.

There's some customizations I did with keyd that could be useful for others. See here

On Linux, I use keyd[1] and while I understand that keyd itelf could never run on the Mac, I'd love something that could take my keyd conf and make it work (even approximately) on the Mac.
