When executing the installation script via sh install.sh as recommended in the readme I run into the below error. Running the script using bash works properly. This is on Pop!_OS 21.04 which symlinks sh to dash so it may only affect this distro.

Almost there! Please do following:
1. Open 'autokey-gtk'.
   In Edit -> Preferences select 'Automatically start AutoKey at login'.
2. Restart your computer.
3. On the login screen under the gear icon on the bottom right select 'GNOME on Xorg'.
4. Enjoy!

Now that 21.04 uses Wayland by default.

The only problem I had with this remap is that I can't have opt+arrows working and using opt for @ or other symbols at the same time, so I created some phrases to add to the collection. I'm using a Spanish Latin American keyboard, keep that in mind.

opt.zip

I can't figure out how to get "é" ("option+e, e") to work... the same for `, ˜, ç and ˆ, can someone please gimme a help on that?

In OSX, ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab cycle forward/backward over the browser tabs. Is it possible to get this with the gnome-macos-remap? It's the only snag I've found so far, since as a tab hoarder, it saves a lot of time!

This is working really well for me with everything except +s in the terminal.

I tried to create a phrase in autokey for it like the rest but it doesn't seem to work. It seems the same as the +w issue (which also doesn't work for me)

In nano ctrl+w is search, but that closes the window, does the same happen for you?

So this isn’t really an issue but I’ve found an app called xkeysnail that I think makes what you or I are trying to do here a lot easier.

I’m currently using it in the dev branch of Kinto.sh & would happily merge any PRs or add features to either Kinto or even xkeysnail (assuming the maintainer continues to accept my PRs).

Running install.sh on popos, a warning appears with the following

Flipping Super and Control keys...
Copying AutoKey Phrases...
Changing default GNOME keybindings...

** (process:126525): WARNING **: 20:38:01.298: Failed to set RT scheduler: Operation not permitted

Is the RT scheduler warning an issue? What is the fix?

in my case for the keyboard the default install instructions result in the flipped assignment of those two letters.
Can I easily switch from e.g. Super + V to alt +V?

The keyboard used is a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort and Ubuntu 20.04 running X11.

To add support for Black Box would it be as easy as creating copies of the terminal-* files and updating the regex filters?

I'm so grateful for this! Thank you. I can't figure out how to do screenshots, both of the entire screen and of just an area. ("Shift + Command + 3" and "Shift + Command + 4" Could you please advise?

Thanks. It's hard to undo muscle memory. You saved me the pain.

Cheers.

I installed this but it is functioning weirdly and not like a mac.

In your remap, super has become the 1st key, and control has become the 2nd key.
Making it: CMD - Ctrl - Alt

This is different to a mac, where it is supposed to be:
Ctrl - Opt - CMD

Am I missing something?

First of all thanks for this awesome script, works like a charm :)

Except, it seems like cmd+w has been mapped to "close application" rather than "close window". At least in chromium and firefox it kills the entire app, rather than just closing the tab I'm in, which is the expected behavior of cmd+w on mac OS.

On macOS, control+command+space bar brings up an emoji menu that's super useful. This would be awesome in this.
Also on macOS the shortcut for a trademark symbol is option +2 if I'm not mistaken. Any way to get that implemented and similar shortcuts here?

Unable to uninstall. ctr and super is still swapped.
The file /usr/share/x11/symboly/pc looks like that.

This is Awesome! However, I just ran through the steps including restarting and changing the system to X11.

However, I don't see any changes.

How do I know it's working?

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 22.04. The cmd options seem to be working and the ctrl options seem to be working outside of the terminal. However, I am not able to do things such as ctrl + C, ctrl + K, etc in the terminal.

Hello!
so this is not really an issue, this project is the only concrete attempt in simplifying the usage of Linux for ppl that [got used to / still are using] a mac
well done!

one thing I am finding difficult to understand is: now that the beloved CMD is mapped to SUPER(aka win key) in linux terminology, perfect for an apple Keyboard of course;
...but how should I go to use this in those keyboards were the first key on the left of the space bar is ALT ? muscle memory is always hitting ALT+C / ALT+V for a copy and paste
thanks

I need to use some shortcut keys of vim in the terminal, such as visual block editing.

Currently I cannot use Ctrl+V because Control and Super are flipped. The Windows+V obviously conflicts with the paste operation.

Many commonly used shortcut keys cannot be used as well, such as Ctrl+Z.

I installed with install.sh and something happened i dont want.
I run the uninstall.sh file and reboot the os, nothing changed. my windows button changed with CTRL button and i cant reverse it.
Please help, thanks

On macOS, when I press Alt+Backspace, the word gets deleted. How can I add this?

PS: Nice repo and thanks for the work done.

I installed this, but i couldnt use ctrl, so i tried to go back. Now, super and ctrl are both mapped to ctrl and i can’t fix it. What should I do?
