# 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 that reports keyboard events
|
|
will likely work.
|
|
|
|
This unfortunately doesn't apply to left/middle/right clicks of mice, or
|
|
the common back/forward thumb buttons, but the keypads of MMO mice seem to
|
|
work. Changing single keys of keyboards also works.

# Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- [x] show a dropdown to select an arbitrary device from `xinput list`
|
|
- [ ] creating presets per device
|
|
- [ ] renaming presets
|
|
- [x] show a list for mappings `[keycode -> target]`
|
|
- [x] read keycodes with evdev
|
|
- [x] make that list extend itself automatically
|
|
- [x] load that file with `setxkbmap` on button press
|
|
- [x] keep the system defaults for unmapped buttons
|
|
- [ ] button to stop mapping and using system defaults
|
|
- [x] highlight changes and alert before discarding unsaved changes
|
|
- [ ] automatically load the preset when the mouse connects
|
|
- [x] ask for administrator permissions using polkit
|
|
- [ ] make it work on wayland
|
|
- [ ] add to the AUR, provide .deb and .appimage files
|
|
