No keyboard Custom Shortcuts in plasma 6

[jesnow]

I recently got a compact keyboard which is great but missing <home> and <end> which I use a lot. Simple, I'll "just" create a custom shortcut. Not so fast, says KDE. We now no longer have custom shortcuts, that's so KDE 5 and somehow no good for wayland, which everyone uses now anyway because its better for gaming.

OK, is there another way of doing this so that I can map, let's say <win>+<left arrow> to <home>? It looks like it can be done by editing xorg.conf. I thought I was never going to have to do that again.

Cheers,
Jon.

After looking around a bit, I can only suggest keyd:

"Linux lacks a good key remapping solution. In order to achieve satisfactory results a medley of tools need to be employed (e.g xcape, xmodmap) with the end result often being tethered to a specified environment (X11). keyd attempts to solve this problem by providing a flexible system wide daemon which remaps keys using kernel level input primitives (evdev, uinput)."

It can be found in a few overlays:
http://gpo.zugaina.org/app-misc/keyd
You could alternatively copy that ebuild and the files directory to maintain your own ebuild in a personal repo.
The ebuild appears to be able to install an openrc service, if that applies to you.
The config file is:
/etc/keyd/default.conf
and seems pretty straight forward. The ebuild appears to install a default.conf config file that is found in the overlay files directory.
