# Folder Structure of Key Mapper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stuff has to be placed in /usr/share/X11/xkb to my knowledge. In order to
|
||
|
|
be able to make backups of the configs, which would be expected in the
|
||
|
|
users home directory, this is symlinked to home.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every user gets a path within that /usr directory which is very
|
||
|
|
unconventional, but it works. This way the presets of multiple users
|
||
|
|
don't clash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is how a single preset is stored. The path in /usr is a symlink, the
|
||
|
|
files are actually in home.
|
||
|
|
- /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/key-mapper/<user>/<device>/<preset>
|
||
|
|
- /home/<user>/.config/key-mapper/<device>/<preset>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is where key-mapper stores the defaults. They are generated from the
|
||
|
|
parsed output of `xmodmap` and used to keep the unmapped keys at their system
|
||
|
|
defaults.
|
||
|
|
- /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/key-mapper/<user>/default
|
||
|
|
- /home/<user>/.config/key-mapper/default
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because the concept of "reasonable symbolic names" [3] doesn't apply
|
||
|
|
when mouse buttons are all over the place, an identity mapping
|
||
|
|
to make generating "symbols" files easier/possible exists.
|
||
|
|
Keycode 10 -> "<10>". This has the added benefit that keycodes reported
|
||
|
|
by xev can be identified in the symbols file.
|
||
|
|
- /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/key-mapper
