No idea which one are relevant at the moment
`evtest`, `libinput`, `python-evdev`

# Roadmap
2020-10-26 22:45:22 +00:00
2020-10-31 16:02:17 +00:00
- [x] show a dropdown to select an arbitrary device from `xinput list`
2020-10-31 19:19:46 +00:00
- [x] creating presets per device
- [ ] renaming presets
2020-10-31 18:22:50 +00:00
- [x] show a list that can be extended with a `[+]` button
- [ ] The list shows `[keycode, current key for that keycode -> target]`
- [ ] generate a file for /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ for each preset, (symlink to home .config/?)
2020-11-02 20:58:15 +00:00
- [x] load that file with `setxkbmap`
- [ ] automatically load the preset (on startup?, udev on mouse connect?)
