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.

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

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.
