Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux
This is really cool, and clever, and it's neat they posted how they did this; but I think I would have just used kanata and done it in the host.
I almost used kanata instead of programming my QMK keyboard, because kanata can be used with any keyboard, which means if I need to use a different keyboard for some reason I don't have to change how I type. Plus, oddly, I seem to have fewer accidental layer/modifier triggers with kanata.
What keys to you use to activate custom layers with Katana?
A nice thing about custom keyboards is that they designed with easy to reach keys that can be used for layer switching.
Is it really an whats old and is new again? I do this with QMK.
Which is old and which is new?
That sun keyboard is mid 2000s.
First keyboard with copy and paste keys: 1987 First release of QMK: 2016.
About 30 years later.
I used one of those sun keyboards a lot back in the day.
