xkeysnail
|
|
|
|
xkeysnail is yet another keyboard remapping tool for X environment
|
|
written in Python. It's like xmodmap but allows more flexible
|
|
remappings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pros
|
|
|
|
1. Has high-level and flexible remapping mechanisms, such as
|
|
per-application keybindings can be defined
|
|
2. multiple stroke keybindings can be defined such as Ctrl+x Ctrl+c
|
|
to Ctrl+q
|
|
3. not only key remapping but arbitrary commands defined by Python
|
|
can be bound to a key
|
|
4. Runs in low-level layer (evdev and uinput), making remapping work
|
|
in almost all the places
|
|
|
|
Cons
|
|
|
|
1. Runs in root-mode (requires sudo)
|
|
|
|
The key remapping mechanism of xkeysnail is based on pykeymacs
