Key Mapper

Almost done

GUI tool to map input buttons to e.g. change the macro keys of a mouse or any keyboard to something different. It should not be device specific, any input device supported by Linux plug and play will likely work.

Running

sudo python3 setup.py install && sudo key-mapper-gtk -d

Dependencies

No idea which one are relevant at the moment

evtest, libinput, python-evdev

Tests

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]
• make that list extend itself automatically
• read keycodes with evdev
• generate a file for /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ for each preset
• load that file with setxkbmap
• keep the system defaults for unmapped buttons
• highlight changes and alert before discarding unsaved changes
• automatically load the preset (on startup?, udev on mouse connect?)
• make it work on wayland
• add to the AUR, provide .deb and .appimage files
