Toshy is a keymapper configuration tool for Linux that remaps keyboard shortcuts to behave like macOS, serving as a Kinto alternative. It is a Python-based application supporting many desktop environments, window managers, and Linux distros, including Wayland and non-US keyboard layouts.
Use cases
- make Linux keyboard shortcuts work like macOS
- use Cmd+C/Cmd+V style shortcuts on Linux
- switch between Mac and Linux with consistent keybindings
- remap Ctrl to Super/Cmd on Linux desktops
- get Mac-style shortcuts on Wayland
- support non-US keyboard layouts with Mac-style remapping
- replace Kinto.sh on Linux
When to choose
- you are a Mac user who also uses Linux and wants familiar shortcuts
- you switch between macOS and Linux frequently
- you use a supported desktop environment like GNOME, KDE, or wlroots-based compositors
- you want an actively maintained Kinto alternative with tray GUI and per-app config
When to avoid
- you only use Windows or macOS
- you use an unsupported desktop environment or distro
- you want a simple key remapper without per-app context awareness
- you need SteamOS/Steam Deck support
