Key Mapper was renamed to Input Remapper #248

Closed sezanzeb closed 2 years ago

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

This was done to avoid a naming conflict with a package called "keymapper" (without a dash) and because input-remapper is able map non-key inputs like joystick events to non-key events. The more broader term "input" suits this better therefore.

aur/key-mapper-git should be merged into aur/input-remapper-git to avoid confusion.

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

Did I get that right that you are recommending to pull in the commits from aur/key-mapper-git into aur/input-remapper-git? It says the histories are unrelated when I try to git merge them, and what would be the benefit?

I have already submitted a request to delete key-mapper-git by the way

saikat0511 commented 2 years ago

Sorry I didn't phrase that right, I meant an AUR package merge request which carries over the votes and comments from the old key-mapper-git package to the new input-remapper-git. It makes it easier for people to rediscover the package who are not keeping up with project news.

Since this is a project rename, merge request is preferred over deletion request for the old package

Ah, yeah I didn't know this was a thing, I just went straight for the deletion. I made another request for merging, lets see what happens. Thanks
