  1. keyd

    A key remapping daemon for linux.

    If someone likes his but not so fond of haskell or want something simpler you could try https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd I personally use it to map CAPS to CTRL so it works also on tty and to use Right alt for a layer with hjkl mapped to arrow keys

  3. kmonad

    Discontinued An advanced keyboard manager (by zim0369)

    After install check out this video and read below to understand how things work then start experimenting. You might also want to take a look at my config file.

  4. kmonad

    An advanced keyboard manager

    Please check this file for windows & mac specific configuration.

  5. GokuRakuJoudo

    config karabiner with ease

    If you think Karabiner json config is horrible, you might know this make https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo config is such a joy

  6. xmonad-conf

    Nakal's Xmonad (plus desktop) configuration

    If anyone is interested in a German keyboard behaving mostly like US keyboard, but with full 4 layers, Vim optimizations like swapesc and a compose key, you can take a look how I did it in a 24 lines long setxkbmap configuration.

  7. ktrl

    A Supercharged Keyboard Programming Daemon ⌨️

    I found the configuration a bit confusing, and an alternative I ended up using is https://github.com/ItayGarin/ktrl.
