input-remapper

Improvements on getting it to run on various distributions

Going to release 0.5.0 soon, so I'd like to have this as fallback release if stuff won't work as planned.

Instead of changing the groups of your user, it will now open a password prompt, similar to using sudo in the console, when starting the application via the applications menu (using polkit).

The global config moved from ~/.config/key-mapper/config to ~/.config/key-mapper/config.json, presets moved from ~/.config/key-mapper/* to ~/.config/key-mapper/presets/*. Migrations exist to automatically move those files when the application is started for the first time.

Other changes:

• systemctl controllable service (e.g. systemctl status key-mapper)
• cli to talk to the service via dbus
• detecting if the device is a touchpad and not treating it like a gamepad
• presets can overwrite configurations of config.json, like the millisecond gap between events.
• maps the d-pad as 4 buttons instead of only 2
• purpose of joysticks (mouse or wheel) and the mouse speed configurable via the gui

Fixes for some old wacom intuos 5. It adds an ABS_MISC event to each button press which prevented the reader from working.

New macro function to loop a child macro while holding down the key

Usability improvements

• Improved help on setting up permissions
• CLI tool to set them up automatically
• autocompletion for the middle column

most notably gamepad support among various other improvements
