Keyd: Linux Key Remapper
I'm using this successfully: https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap

How to remap built-in keybindings like `C-n` and `C-w`?
I could use some external key remappers like xremap. But I'm already using kanata and I can't use two key remappers for the same keyboards (kanata (or kmonad for that matter) doesn't allow application-specific remaps).

Remap caps lock to behave like escape on press and control on hold on Xorg
If they are, it seems that https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap should also work.

Binding CAPS+h/j/k/l to arrow keys & setting all window sizes same width
As far as binding the J,K,H,L keys, have you considered using xremap? I use it the same way for a VIM like modifier.

Remap one key to another in config file?
I find xremap to be much friendlier.

keyd looks pretty nice. I have been using xremap (https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap/) to do the following remaps:

Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
I haven't tried but it seems like you could use a keybinding daemon to effectively remap any application by changing layer in response to window focus changes.
See Ktrl + alt or Kmonad

KMonad gives you superpowers & you'll end up using it everyday
I found the configuration a bit confusing, and an alternative I ended up using is https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl.

It's 2021. There is still no option to rebind keys in a Paradox game
On Linux you could use ktrl layers to change the keyboard layout on the fly.

A way to set up different keymap for a specific usb keyboard ?
Maybe try ktrl

How to bind layout switching to separate key for each layout?
ktrl is based around this idea with layers.

Just mapped my caps lock to escape for the first time...
Bruh, next level is mapping caps lock to both ctrl and esc using a tap dance daemon https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl
What are some alternatives?
