  • 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.

  • 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?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • xcape

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

  • 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...
