Keymapper - Linux

Keymapper is a context-aware key remapper that can be used for system wide or per application shortcuts, it gives me a somewhat close experience to that of autohotkey’s system wide and context aware hotkeys.

Symlink Keymapper config to Syncthing Folder

# Create symbolic link to configuration file in Syncthing Configs folder
ln -s /home/yuriy/Syncthing/Configurations/keymapper/keymapper.conf /home/yuriy/.config/keymapper.conf

# Enable & Start the keymapper daemon service
systemctl enable keymapperd ; systemctl start keymapperd

Configuration Backup
