Key Mapper

Tool to change the mapping of your input device buttons.

Running

First, install the package:

git clone https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper.git
cd key-mapper
sudo python3 setup.py install

To keep injecting the mapping after closing the window, the daemon needs to be running:

sudo key-mapper-service -d

To open the UI to modify the mappings, use:

sudo key-mapper-gtk -d

You can also start it via your applications menu.

Dependencies

Depending on how those packages are called in your distro:

python3-distutils-extra python3-evdev python3-dbus

It works with both Wayland and X11.

Tests

pylint keymapper --extension-pkg-whitelist=evdev
sudo python3 setup.py install && python3 tests/test.py

Roadmap

• show a dropdown to select valid devices
• creating presets per device
• renaming presets
• show a mapping table
• make that list extend itself automatically
• read keycodes with evdev
• inject the mapping
• keep the system defaults for unmapped buttons
• button to stop mapping and using system defaults
• highlight changes and alert before discarding unsaved changes
• automatically load presets on login for plugged in devices
• automatically load presets when devices get plugged in after login
• ask for administrator permissions using polkit
• make sure it works on wayland
• add to the AUR, provide .deb and .appimage files
• support timed macros, maybe using some sort of syntax
