Bug ID: 432750
Summary: No generic way to re-map keys on Wayland
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I have a ThinkPad Laptop, whose disadvantages include a somewhat unconventional
keyboard layout, including a PrintScreen key which is in between the right Alt
and Ctrl keys. I always hit it by accident and launch Spectacle when I don't
mean to.
On X11, I have re-maped the keys such that the PrintScreen key is a second Meta
key, which is super handy, and I turn the useless Insert key at the top of the
keyboard into a PrintScreen key. I use XModMap for this on X11:
$ cat ~/.Xmodmap
! Print Screen => Meta
keycode 107 = Super_L
! Insert => PrintScreen
keycode 118 = Print
However this obviously doesn't work on Wayland, and I haven't found another way
to do it. It would be nice if KWin somehow supported this officially, in its
capacity as an input-handling compositor.
