  🪄 Enchanted Spell Checker (by minad)

One thing that had improved recently for writing is the appearance of several new spell-checking packages, the most recent and popular one being jinx. Grammar/style checking is still sub-optimal. Not sure if authors rely on such tools or that your Grammar knowledge is such that you don't need it and for really proof-reading you have an editor anyway.

Before that I had used interception tools for key rebindings, which relied on the udevmon service to intercept keypress events, and thus even works in a TTY terminal, not requiring a window manager. I use vim keybindings in Emacs and for that I found it useful to rebind ESC to CTRL if tapped, but it still acts as CTRL when held (now I have implemented that in my keyboard firmware).

  Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

  

I never use X11 kbd-config as I'm on Wayland currently. Last year I invested into a mechanical split keyboard and one of the big advantages is (that I didn't think about before buying it) is that its firmware is programmable via QMK so you can define your own keymaps on keyboard-level and even keys to switch between keymaps, which can be super useful. But it's super expensive due to the lack of economics of scale.
