Key Mapper

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.

Roadmap

  • show a dropdown to select an arbitrary device from xinput list
  • creating plugins per device
  • renaming plugins
  • load xmodmap files from the config path
  • show a list that can be extended with a [+] button
  • The list shows [keycode, current key for that keycode -> target]
  • generate a xmodmap.*.whatever file out of that (like for example https://github.com/sezanzeb/colemakDE/blob/master/xmodmap.colemak.de)
  • load that file (setxkbmap funnystuff; xmodmap xmodmap.asdf.whatever, setxkbmap funnystuff -device <id>).
  • Does it need to be loaded on every startup or every time the device connects? If so, add udev rules
