  1. Don’t be like me and spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to run a #runit service as a user. I guess #kanatakbd uses `cmd` to run another program (`wtype`), but permissions still interfere… 🤷 at this point I gave up.

    What you *should* do is to create a user-level service: docs.voidlinux.org/config/serv Then it’s simple: make a dir, put a `run` in it (`log/run` optional), and you’re done. Is it a service or a #nushell script? Both! Runit is great!

  2. In my experience, all software keyboard remappers have one flaw: there’s still a chance the original will come through. For this reason, I avoid processing Alt, Ctrl, Shift, and Super¹ keys unless it’s absolutely necessary.

    My mouse, which has a couple of keyboard shortcuts, was acting up, but removing those modifiers from #kanatakbd fixed the issue.

    ¹ — Kanata calls it Meta. That’s its biggest flaw. :)
