  3. keyd

    A key remapping daemon for linux.

  4. kinto

    Mac-style shortcut keys for Linux & Windows.

    Tangential: I'm currently looking for a way to map Mac-style shortcuts on Linux (e. g. Meta + C/V for copy / paste). The only thing I know is https://kinto.sh/, but it looks a bit too janky to my taste. Any other ideas?

  5. xremap

    Key remapper for X11 and Wayland

    I'm using this successfully: https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap

  6. kmonad

    An advanced keyboard manager

  7. mackeys

    Mac-like keyboard bindings for Linux

    I was looking for the same thing. This is what I hacked together to scratch the itch: https://github.com/davidkellis/mackeys

  8. mouseless

    A replacement for the mouse in Linux

    I really like https://github.com/jbensmann/mouseless as it will also let you remap keys to control the mouse. I went down a rabbit hole of key remapping, and can't remember exactly why I settled on it, but posting as an alternative for others to look at.

    I thrive off caplock as a toggle for remapped keys. I turn my sdf-234 into a numpad and jkl; for arrows and some other text navigation binds so I never need to veer far from the home row. caps-/ for ~ I can't live without.

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.
