@rbreaves I like how xremap looks and I think it is a little bit more modern than xkeysnail, however, I don't know how much effort it would take to rewrite or redo Kinto to use xremap.
@DiegoMagdaleno probably not as much as you think. The syntax for it looks quite similar to a yaml config format I’ve been wanting to make part of either Kinto or xkeysnail actually. That would have been a simple translation layer though.
Just wanted to highlight some cool work that rvaiya is doing in keyd here: https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd/blob/master/scripts/keyd-application-mapper
In this latest beta, keyd
now offers its hot-swappable keyboard layouts and layers with application focus conveyed by that python script via a socket to the keyd
daemon. Works on X, Wayland+Sway, and Wayland+Gnome.
That is very interesting, I've not used sway any.. and sadly my distro of choice, Ubuntu Budgie, does not have access to gnome-extensions even though it works with gnome-shell still.
@rbreaves Xremap seem to do a similar dbus Eval call according to the README
