A cross-platform, context-aware key remapper that lets users redefine keyboard layouts and shortcuts systemwide or per application via a single hand-written configuration file. It runs as a daemon (keymapperd) on GNU/Linux, Windows, macOS, and FreeBSD, and includes keymapperctl for external control.
Use cases
- remap caps lock to backspace systemwide
- change keyboard shortcuts per application
- manage all keyboard shortcuts in one config file
- share key remapping config between linux windows and mac
- swap key positions on a non-standard keyboard layout
- bind keyboard shortcuts to launch applications
- remap keys on wayland
When to choose
- you need consistent key remapping across multiple operating systems
- you want per-application context-aware shortcut remapping
- you prefer a simple text-based configuration over GUI tools
- you use Wayland where many remappers don't work
When to avoid
- you need a graphical interface to manage remapping
- you only need simple remapping already handled by your OS settings
- you need macro recording or complex scripted automation
