Custom keyboard layout #25

Closed Nora-n closed 1 year ago

Nora-n commented 1 year ago

Hi,

First of all thank you for this awesome piece of software! Having all the possible keyboard layouts is great too.

However, I've remapped some of my keyboard keys to some other functions thanks to xmodmap, so showmethekey doesn't get the actual input.

Would it be possible to give this layout to the software? I'm not sure about the way it works, but that would be just fantastic.

Have a great day!

Currently it is not able to do this, but I suggest to remap keys using udev (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes#Using_udev) instead of X-related tools, this works not only under Xorg, but also Wayland and tty and others, it's in a deeper level.

Wow thanks for the fast reply! Would this make showmethekey show the actual input?
