Key Mapper
Tool to change the mapping of your input device buttons.
Running
Installation:
git clone https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper.git
cd key-mapper
sudo python3 setup.py install
usermod -a -G input $USER
To keep injecting the mapping after closing the window, the daemon needs to be running. If it doesn't already after logging in, you can use:
sudo key-mapper-service
To open the UI to modify the mappings, use:
sudo key-mapper-gtk
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
