xremap RPM Package for Fedora

Copr build status

This repository contains the RPM spec file and packaging scripts for xremap, a key remapper for Linux supporting app-specific remapping and Wayland.

Installation Instructions

The RPM packages are available via Fedora COPR.

sudo dnf copr enable blakegardner/xremap
sudo dnf install xremap-gnome

Available Variants

Due to differences in how application specific remapping is implemented in different desktop environments, multiple variants of xremap are available. Choose the variant that best matches your desktop environment.

  • Vanilla (xremap): Use this variant if you're unsure which one to choose.
  • GNOME (xremap-gnome): This variant is recommended if you want application-specific remapping to work in GNOME.
  • KDE (xremap-kde): This variant is recommended if you want application-specific remapping to work in KDE Plasma.
  • wlroots (xremap-wlroots): This variant is recommended if you're using a wlroots-based compositor.
  • X11 (xremap-x11): This variant is recommended if you're using an X11-based desktop environment.

Note: Only one variant can be installed at a time.

Switching Between Variants

To switch between different variants of xremap, use the dnf swap command. This command safely replaces one package with another, handling any conflicts.

sudo dnf swap xremap xremap-gnome

Permissions and Udev Rules

Input Group

The package creates an input group if it doesn't exist. You need to add your user to this group to allow xremap to access input devices.

sudo usermod -aG input $USER

Log out and log back in for the group changes to take effect.

Udev Rules

A udev rules file is installed at /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/00-xremap-input.rules to set the appropriate permissions on input devices.
