Überblick
Key remapping daemon for Linux
Verlauf
keyd is a Linux key-remapping daemon that works below the display-server layer using evdev and uinput. It exists because desktop-specific tools such as xmodmap and xcape can be brittle across X11, Wayland, terminal VTs, and multiple keyboards.
The project, maintained by rvaiya, framed its impetus as a missing Linux-wide remapping solution. Its design goals are speed, a simple config format, consistent modifier behavior, and a small Unix-style daemon with IPC for scripting and application-specific remapping.
The v2 documentation notes that the configuration format went through several iterations after the first release, making the man page the authoritative guide for users migrating from v1. The man page describes keyd as a system-wide daemon supporting layers, one-shot modifiers, macros, and custom layouts that persist across Wayland, X11, and TTY boundaries.
keyd became popular among Linux users who wanted firmware-like keyboard behavior without flashing QMK or depending on a single desktop session. Distribution packages in Alpine, Debian, Nix, Arch, openSUSE, and Homebrew-style catalogs show adoption beyond source builds.
The common first configuration maps Caps Lock to Escape when tapped and Control when held, then reloads the daemon with keyd reload. More advanced users define layers, per-keyboard IDs, application mappings, Unicode output, and home-row or one-shot modifiers.
keyd is interesting to package nerds because it packages a tiny C daemon that changes the physical typing environment for the whole machine. It is also a practical response to the Wayland transition: remapping below the display server avoids the split between X-only and Wayland-only tools.
Sicherheitslage
Für keyd wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden. Nucleus-Paketmetadaten bleiben hier veröffentlicht, damit künftige Abdeckung eine stabile Paket-URL hat.
Prüfe vor unbeaufsichtigter Agent-Nutzung, ob das Tool Klartext-Credentials liest, Remote-Zustand schreibt, Artefakte veröffentlicht oder Plugins ausführt.
local files
These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.
