Installation

The tool shows and logs if there are issues, but usually, independent of the method, you should add yourself to the input and plugdev groups so that you can read information from your devices. You have to start the application via sudo otherwise. You may also need to grant yourself write access to /dev/uinput to be able to inject your programmed mapping.

There is a shortcut for configuring this stuff:

sudo key-mapper-service --setup-permissions

Now log out and back in (or restart in some cases).

Manjaro/Arch

pacaur -S key-mapper-git

Ubuntu/Debian

wget "https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper/releases/"\
"download/0.3.1/python3-key-mapper_0.3.1-1_all.deb"
sudo dpkg -i python3-key-mapper_0.3.1-1_all.deb

Git/pip

Depending on your distro, maybe you need to use --force to get all your files properly in place and overwrite a previous installation of key-mapper.

# method 1
sudo pip install git+https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper.git
# method 2
git clone https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper.git
cd key-mapper && sudo python3 setup.py install
