xremap is a fast key remapper for Linux written in Rust that works on both X11 and Wayland via evdev and uinput. It supports application-specific and device-specific remapping, key sequences, virtual modifiers, and JSON/YAML-compatible configuration.
Use cases
- remap caps lock to ctrl on linux
- remap keys per application on wayland
- use emacs-style keybindings system-wide
- remap key combinations to key sequences
- trigger shell commands on key press
- remap keys differently per keyboard device
- use a non-modifier key as a modifier
When to choose
- you need key remapping on Wayland where xmodmap doesn't work
- you want per-application or per-device remapping rules
- you need fast, low-latency remapping in Rust
- you want Emacs-like key sequences or mark mode
When to avoid
- you need remapping on macOS or Windows
- you only need simple X11 remapping and prefer xmodmap
- you want a GUI configuration tool
