I did try "Input Remapper" but it keeps saying "The device was not grabbed"

Functional macro keys use fn+ button so press any "special" key like volume up with fn.

And it should be detected.

fn + G1 (macro key) didn't work. I tested, and it does however work with my mouse and XBOX controller.

I was find that i hope thats help you:https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/

An easy to use tool to change the behaviour of your input devices.
Supports X11, Wayland, combinations, programmable macros, joysticks, wheels,
triggers, keys, mouse-movements and more. Maps any input to any other input.

Direct link:https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/releases/download/2.0.0/input-remapper-2.0.0.deb

So you have that ?

And search for xorg-input its a keyboard driver/library.

You need edit xorg-input config here more info: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80594/trying-to-set-keyboard-layout-using-xorg-configuration-but-its-not-working

Write in terminal apt-cache search xinput and there will be tool for configuration.

 There should be settings in system in my sparky 8 xfce there is keyboard settings search for keybord and there will be settings for shortcuts and layout.

Hardware / Keyboard Macro Keys, Help?

Last post by Ze_Mind - November 30, 2023, 06:23:17 AM

I have this keyboard: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16823201131?Item=N82E16823201131

As you can see in picture, there are macro keys on the left side and top. How can I edit them?

I can't find any programs that aren't old. And anything I find by terminal, are widely outdated.

I'm running on the latest KDE Plasma. Rolling Release version.

Can someone show me the light? (Yes, I've looked on google before asking this)

* Desk Launcher: Iconfied Thumbnails, Full-Screen Maximize, Windows Overview, Tiling, and Work Desk.
* Work Desk: Navigation buttons, Rofi, Calendar, Clock, and 4 Desks Pager with 2 Pages each.
(Web, Email, Work and Misc. desk).

* Page Indicator.
* Tiled and scalable wallpaper features.
