If the simulation is shoddy it’s even more infuriating though.
On MacOS if I remap a key, it gets remapped for everything. I suppose the remapping is done before applications get the keystroke. Even if I connect to a remote computer, it’s getting the remapped keystroke.
On Linux, it’s just locally. On a remote system, the original keystroke is passed. The only way to get around that is with a programmable keyboard. But then your laptop keyboard doesn’t work the way you expect.
- ghaff 5y agoFair enough. Although I (and I assume most others) have a big key on my MacBook that I hit way more often by accident than I actually use.
- bombcar 5y agoI was able to remap keys per keyboard on MacOS somehow ... can't quite recall how I did it (used it to remap command and windows key on the external but not the laptop keyboard).
- salamandersauce 5y agoProbably Karabiner Elements?
- bombcar 5y agoYeah, I've used that, but MacOS has the modifier keys built in now - System Preferences -> Modifier Keys - Caps, Control, Option, Command, Function are all there.
- salamandersauce 5y agoThere's utilities like keyd and kmonad to remap keys system wide on Linux. I've used keyd because the config is simpler for what I want. Works in tty, X11, remote. Also does layers and other fancy tricks.
