Description

A Linux daemon for remapping keyboard keys. It can change key behavior globally, making it useful for custom layouts, accessibility needs or keyboard-heavy workflows.

Use carefully because a bad mapping can make the keyboard hard to use. Keep a recovery method such as a TTY, second keyboard or known-good configuration.

How to run

keyd.service
