Everything I read says it’s a feature enabled in what ever compositor you choose, if your compositor supports it. Why isn’t there a general purpose keybinding program like setxkbmap? Does it just not exist yet or must it be built into the compositor?

I’ve read [this stackexchange thread] on something related but it all seems to be using XKB which should imply I’m using XWayland?

    Yep keyd is fantastic. I also have a chromebook laptop which I installed NixOS on, and the keyboard is an absolute disaster. Keyd has been a god send.

      How is NixOS on a Chromebook? The Chromebook I’ve been hacking on exists as a beater for trying environments without disrupting the (principally Arch+KDE on X) boxes I do my real work on, and I was thinking about trying Nix on it, but it seemed like the combination of 16GB eMMC and Nix’s propensity for large disc usage would make that difficult.

        16GB eMMC and Nix

        Yeah, that ain’t gonna work.

        On my chromebook, it runs great. But I have a 128gb ssd. The only things that don’t work are hdmi audio and automatically switching from speakers to the audio jack.
