input-remapper

• Various small bugfixes
• Updated translations

• Extensive refactorings in the injector to use flexible MappingHandlers, which are reusable for different use-cases, allowing to map everything to everything else, including analog inputs, combinations and even combinations involving analog inputs.
• Extensive frontend code refactoring. Using a central message broker to make the GUI more event based. Loose coupling of components. Dependency Injection for GUI-Component dependencies. Lots of improvements to automated GUI tests.
• New user interface, splitting device and preset selection into their own pages, including a configuration menu for analog input, which even renders a graph for the event value conversion.
• add macro to do math with variables
• Preset name sanitation
• ReaderService terminates automatically after some time for security
• Refactorings of the automated test setup

This is a huge release, and it is mostly based on @jonasBoss work. Consider thanking him for his efforts by donating at https://ko-fi.com/jonasbosse 👍

Requires at least Python 3.10 or Ubuntu 22.04.

Last release before 2.0.0

• Preset name sanitation
• Minor stability improvement
• Improved .deb file conflicts and compatibility
• New translations

Should work with Ubuntu 20.04

• Added "keyboard + mouse" target to inject both keyboard and mouse events, like key(a).wheel(up, 10)
• key_up and key_down macros
• None keyword for macro parameters
• No log files anymore, using journalctl instead
• Checking macro code for errors during typing
• Some fixes

• Creating UInputs on demand to avoid plugging in devices that confuse the system
• Added hold_keys
• The GUI asks for a python-evdev upgrade if necessary
• Fixed confusion in udev between the forwarded and original device, causing the udev rule to autoload and overwrite the intended injection

• Refactorings
• Fix crash when triggering a macro multiple times
• Added unique non-zero exit codes
• Updated Slovak translation
• Fixed GUI bugs caused by a mapping to a single whitespace, "foo()" or foo() # a + b
• Replicating the original device properties for the injection
• Keys that make the GUI lose the focus, like media keys, can be configured now

• Added multiline macro editor with improved autocompletion that works for combinations and macro parameters
• Added reusable global default uinputs that represent a keyboard, a mouse and a gamepad that are available at all times
• Colorful logging based on file instead of log-level, and added the name of the child process that printed the log
• Split tests into unit and integration, added PyCharm test configuration, added proper test exit code, using the correct temporary directory in tests

• renamed key-mapper to input-remapper, fixed conflict with existing keymapper package
• fixed autoload after a preset rename

• improved config file migrations
• avoiding pointless autoload attempts during boot
• improved logs

Fixes nested if_tap macros

• if_tap and if_single
• added more readable names for all the shorthand functions
• string support, so that set(var, "a, b") works which sets the variable "var" to "a, b"
• $var to use a variables value in macros, like wait($var)
• support for named parameters, like if_tap(k(a), k(b), timeout=500)
• if_eq, an improved ifeq macro with support for variables like if_eq($a, $b, k(c), k(d)). ifeq is deprecated but still works
• comment support for macros via #
• improved code readability, especially in the keycode_mapper
• architecture changes to make the injection pipeline clearer: Consumer base class and ConsumerControl
• complete separation of keycode_mapper and event_producer, both inheriting from Consumer now
• split and refactored a few files/classes

• internationalization
• figures out the configured home directory of the user instead of defaulting to /home/user
• fixes for multi-user environments

support for multiple devices of the same model

• fixes for various gamepads
• added ctrl + r shortcut to refresh the device list
• removed keys from the dropdown that are only possible with modifier keys
• the left mouse button can be mapped now
• the displayed key names for gamepads are more readable

• Changes to the UI architecture to prevent GTK to run as root. Required for proper Wayland support and considered good practice
• UI improvements: Autosave, copy button, gnome HIG compliant margins/paddings, icons for the device list, about dialog
• Added wheel, mouse and e macro functions. The mouse cursor can be moved via keyboard keys now
• Bugfixes

• presets can now be copied when holding ctrl down while clicking on "new"
• fixes error popups in ubuntu that can be ignored
• fixed a bug that caused some characters to repeat forever
• keeps the autoload setting intact after renaming presets

• added key + key + ... + key syntax
• when devices connect presets will be loaded automatically, even after login
• improved compatibility by opening a separate new devnode for all injected events

(release .deb also contains c6c186f8e8f9d7be0c72e9c5475a9ad96d8af793)

• mapping all four directions of mouse wheels with keycodes
• fixes for graphics tablets
