    Impetus

    A key remapping daemon for linux

    Linux lacks a good key remapping solution. In order to achieve satisfactory results a medley of tools need to be employed (e.g xcape, xmodmap) with the end result often being tethered to a specified environment (X11). keyd attempts to solve this problem by providing a flexible system-wide daemon that remaps keys using kernel-level input primitives (evdev, input).
