Low-level key configuration tool for Linux.
My personal 'kingcon' layout, just the essentials. (tested on Fedora and Ubuntu)
Prototype, using the Linux version of Interception https://gitlab.com/interception https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Interception-tools
Enables my personal minimum must-have keyboard config. For me, this is a prerequisite to use bare metal Linux installations.
Long term it would be nice if it could parse and implement capsicain ini files. Probably lots of effort and cross-platform trouble.
- clone capsable repo to ~/git/ (or copy the binaries in /build/ and start script. If you change the path you must update the start script).
- sudo ~/git/capsable/start_capsable.sh # OR sudo ~/git/capsable/start_capsable_apple.sh # flips cmd/alt and fn/ctrl keys (i don't like the apple layout on Linux)
- maybe you have to adjust the event numbers in the start script, e.g.
INTERDEV=/dev/input/event14# for Apple magic keyboard 2 install and run 'evtest' if you cannot figure out the event# of your keyboard - for convenience, set
alias sc='sudo ~/git/capsable/start_capsable.sh' - keep it running in a terminal tab
