capslock as modifier? about warpd HOT 5 CLOSED

You are of course absolutely right, I did not mention the important details that the very key combination (M-f) I was expecting warpd to produce a oneshot mouse click was already bound in keyd to produce a mouse click. So warpd was just seeing mouse clicks and of course did not do anything.

Please excuse my false allegations, the problem was sitting in front of the screen!

bindings with a meta prefix (such as M-f) do not work in warpd unless the physical meta key is used

warpd uses Xinput, so it should respect your keyd bindings. If you've done any remapping in X it might ignore that, but if you do something like capslock = meta in keyd, it should process meta as expected.

As a long time Linux user, command line lover, and programmer, I have always struggled to get any xinput config to stick. Recently I have used sezanzeb/input-remapper to remap keys at a level that warpd recognized. I have caps-lock mapped to escape (vim user), and right-alt as alt+meta. Input-remapper It is set up per-device, so lower level than xinput? Sorry, I am web developer, so you can't expect much from me.

I believe input-remapper uses evdev like keyd (shameless plug :P), whereas warpd uses xinput (higher level), so this shouldn't cause any issues.

keyd looks good; I do like config files over UI. I will give it a try. I would love to mimic what QMK can do, with any cheap keyboard/laptop.
