can haz emacs with spacecadet keybinds?
hyper super meta shift alt control, ahoy! :D
Man, it sure is confusing that apparently some software calls the super key meta. Historically that’s alt and a lot of software calls alt meta instead. My brain was bending over backwards reading this article, confused as to why alt and meta were being used simultaneously as though separate until I figured it out.
EDIT: lol, I just noticed apparently the KDE key remapper used meta in place of alt so we’ve got both uses of meta in the same article and the author went with the keyd definition…
Might be usable as a compose key for typing accented characters and such. It wouldn’t need to be held for that.
Standard procedure, no? We used to map non-standard keys back in the days. I’d probably map it to Super and use it for my key combinations for my most used software.
Until you realize that cannot be done. Since they completely fd up the f-ing pos key.
In short, pressing the key you get several key down and key up events. Letting go of the copilot key will produce no events.
You cannot in any sensible way map this to any modifier key. Unless you set some kind of timer, which will never produce the exact same result but something a bit like it.
The page doesn’t even mention copilot key, which is a clisterf*ck and not mappable by normal means. There is no key up event when letting go, instead there are several key down and key up events when pressing it down. This makes it almost impossible to use as a modifier key for example.
