    I also installed https://github.com/houmain/keymapper to get rid of the two most unergonomic keys for me. Swapped LAlt and RShift because LAlt is pretty much unused for me, and put Enter on Space (long hold).

    This is true.

    Apple still is more sophisticated in the scripting department. Applescript support in most applications and the ability to tie that into actions is seriously powerful stuff.

    Gnome wins in the ability to use javascript to customize window handling, but it isn't really able to script application actions like you can in OS X.

    It is improving though. If you can use keyboard to navigate the functions you want in applications you can automate it with software like keymapper.

    There are other similar software available.

    Keymapper is software that intercepts input from your keyboard and allows you to 'remap' it. It operates on the libinput level of things, so it works regardless of environment or if you are in the console. It does require elevated privileges, though.

    This when combined with Gnome-shell extension and user keymapperd daemon it can provide application-specific contexts for keyboard combos. The extension monitors for switching applications and gives keymapper the ability to be context-aware.

    This is how I "solved" the copy past nightmare for myself in Linux. This way no matter if I am in a browser, terminal, or Emacs I have consistent copy-paste keys. (super-c, super-v). Makes things easier.

    This isn't even remotely on the same level as applescript, but at least it is something. You have to understand low-level Linux keyboard stuff, which is still a mess. Versus being able to simply record yourself using applescript.

    Gnome certainly is a very relaxing environment once you get used to it. Much less frantic or distraction filled compared to Windows or OS X. I like it.

  • no lower or greater than symbol on azerty thinkpad T430 keyboard

    I have installed endeavourOS on a thinkpad T430 with an azerty keyboard. Unfortunately no keys combinations allow to type the symbols less than < or greater than >. keymapper available in AUR (https://github.com/houmain/keymapper 1) can be used to customize the keyboard. I’d like to map those symbols as follow:
