A wrapper for keyboard to easily create custom function layers in python
Note
Available key names can be found here
Important
Please exit using a KeyboardInterrupt to allow for keys to be properly unhooked.
Key bindings can be changed by editing ./pyfunkeys/maps.cfg
Below is an example config for adding vim style movement keys to the function layer:
caps lock, menu
h -> left
j -> down
k -> up
l -> right
w -> ctrl+right
b -> ctrl+left
windows : none
The first line of the config defines the key(s) used switch layers. Use a , to separate key names if binding more than one:
caps lock or caps lock, menu
The remaining lines are used to define your key-map pairs, separated by a ->:
h -> left
Base layer keys can be remapped using the : separator. The line below will disable the Windows key on the base layer, but still allow for it to be used on the function layer:
windows : none
Function layer keys can also be mapped to hotkeys containing more than one key by using a + on the right side of the ->. The lines below will remap w and b on the function layer to move forward and backward by one word in the current text:
w -> ctrl+right and b -> ctrl+left
