  • xcape

    Linux utility to configure modifier keys to act as other keys when pressed and released on their own.

  • Hi, I have used xcape in the past to bind a function to a single modifier. Sadly it only sends an event when the key is released and not on press+release.

  • sxhkd

    Simple X hotkey daemon

  • You should also see this issue, Iā€™m not sure but perhaps there exists an ALT equivalent to SUPER_L mentioned in the issue.
