I’m looking to create a macro keyboard (full keyboard) which is separate from my main keyboard, under Debian with KDE Plasma running under Wayland. I have seen similar tools for X11 but they do not work under Wayland for obvious reasons. I have been able to create basic macros using Python, but is there a much better way for Wayland?

    So you want use a second hardware keyboard to trigger custom key events or sequences, right?

    I don’t use Wayland but keyd works on the evdev/uinput level so I think it should work regardless of the display server used. To use it for the secondary keyboard only you’d list only that device in the [ids] section of the config.

      This doesn’t seem to be able to run & open applications though? Seems like it may be useful however though, thanks!
