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).

Features

  • Layers (with support for hybrid modifiers)
  • Key overloading (different behaviour on tap/hold)
  • Keyboard specific configuration
  • Instantaneous remapping (no more flashing :))
  • A client-server model that facilitates scripting and display server agnostic application remapping. (Currently ships with support for X, sway, and gnome)
  • System wide config (works in a VT)
  • First class support for modifier overloading
