evmap

Remap keys for X/Wayland (over evdev)

My personal case

Win+Left  -> Home
Win+Right -> End
Win+Up    -> PgUp
Win+Down  -> PgDw

If you need some other mapping, please edit the mapping table in main.c.

Dependencies

How to Build / Install

You need Meson for building from the source code.

$ meson --buildtype=release build
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ ninja install

How to Run

Run evmap with an input device specified. Look for input devices in /dev/input/. Use the input device that references your keyboard.

Example:

$ evmap /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if02-event-kbd

root access is required for grabbing an input device!

Or, you can set the proper access rights to your input device (grabbed device) and to the input device with remapped keys (/dev/uinput).
