I often leave Steam running in the background. Indeed, KDE seems to be suspending more reliably after I exit Steam. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks like that script is for Gnome (based on the StackOverflow post listed on the project page, it talks to org.gnome.SessionManager via dbus). I wonder if there is a similar way to talk to PowerDevil?

My city has a tool library program that sounds exactly like this (I haven’t tried it yet, not sure how well it works in practice). Would be especially nice for one-off sorts of tools you don’t expect to use often.

The downside is you’d need to line up your project with their hours, and hope no one else is using it when you need it. But if you have the flexibility to plan ahead, could be a nifty resource.

Looks like evremap will do what I want, plus a nifty bonus! The following config lets me use CapsLock + N/P/etc to navigate. And if I just tap CapsLock without pressing anything else, it will act as escape.

device_name = "Telink Wireless Receiver"

[[dual_role]]
input = "KEY_CAPSLOCK"
hold = ["KEY_F19"]
tap = ["KEY_ESC"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_N"]
output = ["KEY_DOWN"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_P"]
output = ["KEY_UP"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_B"]
output = ["KEY_LEFT"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_F"]
output = ["KEY_RIGHT"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_A"]
output = ["KEY_HOME"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_E"]
output = ["KEY_END"]

Note: I used F19 because it doesn’t seem to be bound to anything by default. Apparently, a bunch of the other function keys already did things, as described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet | grep FK13
    key    {      [ XF86Tools         ]       };
    key   {       [ XF86MailForward       ]       };
    key   {       [ XF86Word              ]       };      // F2
    key   {       [ XF86MailForward       ]       };      // F3

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet | grep FK20
    key    {      [ XF86AudioMicMute      ]       };

Looks like there’s an open issue (with fairly recent activity) for adding Wayland support: https://github.com/joshgoebel/keyszer/issues/27

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into this more.

Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll dig into these tonight and see what I can get working.

A nurse at work had “CA$H MONEY” tattooed inside her lip. Sounded like the result of a drunken dare/bet.

Our neighborhood has the Magical Chicken Wing bush. The dog thoroughly inspected it for months afterwards, and still checks on it now and then just in case.
