 Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2021 12:39 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Using UDEV (not EUDEV) to change keyboard keys |
 |
|
The following rule worked well with eudev to swap the Capslock and Esc keys on my laptop's integrated keyboard:
| Code: | | SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="1", ENV{KEYBOARD_KEY_01}="capslock", ENV{KEYBOARD_KEY_3a}="esc" |
Since changing to udev, it doesn't work anymore. The attributes KEYBOARD_KEY_01 and KEYBOARD_KEY_3a still show up in the device as by udevadm, but the keys are no longer swapped.
Does anyone either know how to fix this or know the right mailing list where I could ask this (systemd? kernel linux-hotplug?)?
Thank you!

I've also noticed that `systemd-hwdb`, the binary which supposedly compiles hwdb.bin and thus causes other `KEYBOARD_KEY` entries to appear, is missing from udev. I'm not sure how this is related, but I find it weird because now I wonder how hwdb.bin is compiled. By now I've filed an upstream bug, because I suspect something causes the udev rules for KEYBOARD_KEY to not make it back into the kernel:

I couldn't get any usb keyboard/mouse to accept changes, so I looked around and found
A keymapping program @ https://github.com/stefansaraev/keytable, there is no ebuild, but it's only one .c file and one .h with the makefile.
So I compiled it and put it in my home bin dir.
Now, I can swap middle mouse button, and have some keyboard media keys redefined.
It runs once at start and that's all that's needed till the next reboot.
Edit to add: If I was using X I'd use the modmap utility, but wayland doesn't have such a thing, or at least it didn't the last I looked.
