Development

Contributions are very welcome, I will gladly review and discuss any merge requests.

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
• make sure it works on wayland
• support timed macros, maybe using some sort of syntax
• add to the AUR, provide .deb file
• basic support for gamepads as keyboard and mouse combi
• executing a macro forever while holding down the key using h
• mapping D-Pad directions as buttons
• support for non-GUI TTY environments
• mapping joystick directions as buttons, making it act like a D-Pad
• configure joystick purpose via the GUI and store it in the preset
• automatically load presets when devices get plugged in after login (udev)
• mapping a combined button press to a key
• start the daemon in the input group to not require usermod somehow
• configure locale for preset to provide a different set of possible keys

Tests

pylint keymapper --extension-pkg-whitelist=evdev
sudo pip install . && coverage run tests/test.py
coverage combine && coverage report -m

To read events, evtest is very helpful. Add -d to key-mapper-gtk to get debug output.

Releasing

ssh/login into a ubuntu machine

./scripts/build.sh

this will generate key-mapper/deb_dist/python3-key-mapper_0.3.1-1_all.deb depending on the version configured in setup.py

Badges

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/jongracecox/anybadge
sudo pip install git+https://github.com/dbrgn/coverage-badge
./scripts/badges.sh

new badges, if needed, will be created in readme/ and they just need to be commited.
