  1. janus-key

    Low-level GNU/Linux dual function key remapper (X and Wayland)

    I wrote a little tool in C that allows you to use normal keys as modifiers.

  3. dual-key-remap

    Remap any key to any other two keys on Windows 🔥. Remap CapsLock to both Ctrl and Escape! (It's like xcape for windows!)

    I am long term fan of Space-Ctrl dual role key - must have for any emacser imo. Now I'm using https://github.com/ililim/dual-key-remap on windows and https://github.com/alols/xcape on Linux. Are your app has any advantages against these two?

  4. xcape

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

  5. linux

    https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/dual-function-keys is another program analogous to janus-key. But it was a bit too complicated for my taste...
