  • kmonad

    An advanced keyboard manager

  • I would image you couldo this with kmonad. I use kmonad on a few GPD machines to make the keyboard more usable.

  • chkb

    chkb turns a regular keyboard into a fully programmable keyboard. It is a cheap programmable keyboard

  • So, for this usecase kmonad, chkb, evremap and similars are not a solution that seems acceptable to me.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • evremap

    A keyboard input remapper for Linux/Wayland systems, written by @wez

  • So, for this usecase kmonad, chkb, evremap and similars are not a solution that seems acceptable to me.

  • kmonad-contrib

    A repository of community configurations, as well as other bits and bobs

  • I've been using kmonad on a bunch of devices for years now without any issues. I've also shared (slightly outdated) versions of my kmonad keymaps for some GPD devices (including the MicroPC) in their contrib repo.

  • qmk_firmware

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

  • And thanks for all the other information; I am currently configuring an external 4x12 keys keyboard via QMK to be used as a travel keyboard, and I really can appreciate what kmonad and similars can do to "dump" keyboards, I am tempting to use that, for all the other stuff except SysRq, like double-tap "o" -> "รถ" and much more. So I know what can be done with them!

  • InfluxDB
