Key Mapper
GUI tool to map input buttons to e.g. change the macro keys of a mouse or any keyboard to something different.
Running
sudo python3 setup.py install && 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 an arbitrary device from
xinput list
- creating presets per device
- renaming presets
- show a list for mappings
[keycode -> target]
- read keycodes with evdev
- make that list extend itself automatically
- load that file with
setxkbmap
on button press - 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 the preset when the mouse connects
- 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
