Kanata

This is a cross-platform software keyboard remapper for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Improve your keyboard comfort. What Kanata allows you to do is take this alternate layer concept that Shift keys have and apply it to any key. You can then customize what those layers do to suit your exact needs and workflows. Running Kanata currently does not start it in a background process. You will need to keep the window that starts Kanata running to keep Kanata active.

Features

Multiple layers of key functionality
Documentation available
Advanced key behaviour customization (e.g. tap-hold, macros, unicode)
Cross-platform human readable configuration file
Examples available
Pre-built executables
