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.

Is there a way that I can make Caps Lock behave like the Mod key when pressed with another key but behave like Caps Lock (as it does by default) if just pressed and released?
keyd looks pretty nice. I have been using xremap (https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap/) to do the following remaps:

Announcing shikane: a dynamic output configuration tool for Wayland compositors
I was initially having some problems with kanshi and was thinking about contributing the new features I wanted. For some of the features I wanted, kanshi's internals would have to change considerably. Since kanshi consists of only ~1500 lines of C, I began writing a replacement for kanshi in Rust. After many hours of reading Wayland protocol specifications, working on shikane, some help from the Smithay project and their Rust implementation of Wayland protocols, shikane was able to replace kanshi on my machines. I have been using it for over 4 months now.

Xremap - Linux key remapper written in Rust
Yes, I agree. Since https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots-rs is deprecated, I'm guessing I should use https://github.com/Smithay/smithay or https://github.com/Smithay/wayland-rs. As soon as I find a library that can use the protocol, preferably without extra dependency, I'll switch it to that.
