[Feature]: Are keyboard remapping, shell-command actions, and wider keycode coverage planned?

[costantinoai]

Pre-flight checklist

• I searched existing issues and the Roadmap, and this isn't already tracked.

Partial overlap, noted for triage: #101 and #64 touch keyboard remapping, #258 touches custom/macro actions. Neither covers the keycode gap below, and none of the three has an answer on whether the feature is planned. Happy to have this closed as a duplicate if you'd rather answer in those threads.

Problem / motivation

I'm evaluating a move from Solaar to OpenLogi on Ubuntu 24.04 / X11, with an MX Master 3 and an MX Keys S (both Bluetooth-direct). Most of my setup transfers — per-app profiles via WM_CLASS, DPI, SmartShift, Back/Forward/Gesture bindings all work as documented.

Three things I currently rely on have no equivalent in OpenLogi, so I can't complete the migration. Listing them here to ask whether they're on the roadmap.

1. Keyboard key remapping

ButtonId in crates/openlogi-core/src/binding.rs enumerates mouse buttons only. My MX Keys S has seven keys remapped in Solaar — Lock PC, Calculator, Voice Dictation, Emoji Panel, Snipping Tool, Mic Mute, and the App-Contextual-Menu key — and there's no place in the config schema to express any of them. Same for fn-swap and backlight timeout, which Solaar exposes over HID++.

2. Running a command from a binding

Two of my bindings shell out (Solaar's Execute: rule action). The Action enum has no variant for this.

3. Keycode coverage in CustomShortcut

macos_vk_to_linux in crates/openlogi-inject/src/inject/linux.rs maps A–Z, 0–9, punctuation, Tab/Space/Esc/Enter/Backspace, F1–F12, Home/End/PgUp/PgDn/Delete, and the arrows. modifiers_to_keycodes in the same file handles Ctrl, Shift, and Alt, with MOD_CMD folding into KEY_LEFTCTRL.

That leaves these unreachable from a binding:

• Numpad keys — I need KP_Enter and Ctrl+KP_Enter (RStudio binds these separately from main-row Enter, so Enter isn't a substitute)
• F13–F24 — I need F16 for a LibreOffice macro
• Print Screen as a bindable key
• Media/system keys such as mic-mute (MuteVolume covers speaker mute only)
• Super/Meta as a modifier, and left/right modifier distinction

Three of my bindings fail on this: mode-shift button → KP_Enter, middle click → Ctrl+KP_Enter in RStudio, middle click → F16 in LibreOffice.

Proposed solution

No proposal — I'm asking whether these three are planned, and roughly where they sit if so. That determines whether I migrate now, wait, or stay on Solaar.

Alternatives considered

Solaar does all three today; that's the setup I'd be leaving.

I'm in a very similar situation, looking to migrate from Solaar but need some keyboard remapping support.
Some examples:

• Remap "Screen Lock" to "Minus"
• Launch gnome-screenshot on "Screen Capture" key press
• Remap "Brightness Down" to "F1"

I am using logid at the moment and there I can remap Gestutre/Click to left_meta which triggers Gnome's Application Overview. At the moment CustomShortcut can neither use Meta/Super nor does Cmd map to those. It also doesn't allow to just press the modifier key without any action (pressing left meta automatically opens the Application Overview in Gnome). Ideally the App Overview action would just map to that. Also the macOS specific ones should not be shown if not applicable.
