xremap – key remapper

xremap is a key remapper for Linux. Unlike xmodmap, it supports app-specific remapping and Wayland.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Remap any keys, e.g. Ctrl or CapsLock.
  • Remap any key combination to another, even to a key sequence.
  • Remap a key sequence as well. You could do something like Emacs’s C-x C-c.
  • Remap a key to two different keys depending on whether it’s pressed alone or held.
  • Application-specific remapping. Even if it’s not supported by your application, xremap can.
  • Device-specific remapping.
  • Automatically remap newly connected devices by starting xremap with –watch.
  • Support Emacs-like key remapping, including the mark mode.
  • Trigger commands on key press/release events.
  • Use a non-modifier key as a virtual modifier key.
