Wow this is the tool i always wanted that didn't know I needed. Thanks.

[@m.m3633]

Thank you for sharing this! It really blew my mind!

[@treequin]

Thank you for this video. I was already using xremap but I didn't know about most of these features. Very useful! 👍

[@AScribblingTurtle]

Thank you so much for showing this. Now my permanently damaged wrist and I can finally enjoy all that Wayland goodness.

[@doce3609]

The most important thing is that it is written in rust

[@RoniellBerrios]

Thanks now this works for me regardless of wayland or xorg!

[@TheSast]

Dam, another banger, you really never miss.

[@galileotime]

fancy seeing you here :) (akl)

[@TheSast]

@@galileotime Quite fancy indeed

[@Mekuso8]

Thanks! Vanilla GNOME had been a no-go for me for a long time since neither the options nor GNOME Tweaks allow sufficient level of keyboard customization to prevent physical pain for me when typing a lot. I've been using Cinnamon and KDE which do support such settings. With this tool, the amount of DEs I can use increases greatly. (I still think vanilla GNOME should include some of the more commonly used keyboard settings though...)

[@customan10]

How did you customize in KDE?

[@AminD0]

Xremap is insanely good i use it myself. I use it to map my caps-lock on my laptop to an extra layer to use with ijkl for arrows and tap for ESC.

[@samuelfamilusi7899]

Been using kanata for some time but I might give this a try

[@raphaelamadeu]

I'm sad because everytime I try to use this with sudo, the command is not found...

[@anasouardini]

Another tool that the same job but not covering all the keys so that I end up using 3 tools for mapping keys 😆 I'm not even joking: I use `keyd`, `xkbmap` and `xremap`. Each one of them covers what others lack.

[@vimjoyer]

Yeah, that's just Linux key mapping. I wish we had some simpler, more reliable solution.

[@lel7531]

Amazing video as always, could you make a video on ZFS too please ?

[@vimjoyer]

Maybe

[@toftul]

Hi thanks for the guide! Very nicely structured. By the way, is it possible to handle international layouts as well? like to have custom english layout (e.g. dvorak or colemak) and russian layout

[@vimjoyer]

All Keys are detected as English qwerty for me on Russian layout, but I'm sure you could configure it to do anything you want.

[@sharperguy]

well so much for sxhkd. And i really did like trying to pronounce sxhkdrc

[@vimjoyer]

I also love ncmpcpp's name

[@slavic_commonwealth]

it's hard only when you see it first time 😄 @@vimjoyer when you understand it's semantics it's easy: NCMPCPP: NCurses Music Player Client Plus Plus or how I thought of it in the past - ncmp rewritten in cpp, so ncmp+cpp (actually it's ncmpc rewritten in cpp so I was kinda wrong but doesn't matter, that was enough for me to remember it)

[@YBWang-pi9qq]

I am using keyd a few weeks ago. and consider it is better. Please comments if I am wrong.

[@vimjoyer]

Both are great

[@user-me5rv9gb7x]

bro how to set the xremap in login in dwm ,

[@vimjoyer]

Not sure, I never used dwm. Have you tried adding it to .xinitrc?

[@fatalistiys]

Так это же можно будет реализовать раскладку miryoku на обычной ноутбучной клавиатуре 🤔😳🤯🤯🤯😏

[@vimjoyer]

Конечно)

[@fatalistiys]

Чуть погуглил и оказалось что есть kmonad и под неё уже есть готовый конфил для miryoku

[@vimjoyer]

@@fatalistiys Да, но kmonad работает только на X. Но всё кончено зависит от юз-кейса, так что каждому своё 👍

[@slavic_commonwealth]

нефига себя ты ещё и по-русски разговариваешь) @@vimjoyer

[@JeffWindsor]

dude you are the shiz

[@vimjoyer]

Why?(

[@slavic_commonwealth]

that's based

[@Sra4825]

IMHO kanata (also written in rust) gives much more flexibility.

[@vimjoyer]

I'll check it out

[@shrikedecil]

Volume?

[@vimjoyer]

Is something wrong again?

[@shrikedecil]

@@vimjoyerI found a problem on my end. You're fine. Thanks for the video!

[@vimjoyer]

@@shrikedecil Nice, I was worried I messed up the audio as always
