v2.2.4-beta

  • Add support for application mapping by title
  • Fix macro timeouts
  • Forbid modifier keycodes as lone right hand values in favour of layers

v2.2.3-beta

  • Enable hot swapping of depressed keybindings via -e
  • Improve support for application remapping

v2.2.2-beta

  • Change panic sequence to backspace+enter+escape (#94)
  • Fix overload+modifer behaviour (#95)

v2.2.1-beta

  • Move application bindings into ~/.config/keyd/app.conf.
  • Add -d to keyd-application-mapper.
  • Fix broken gnome support.

v2.2.0-beta

  • Add a new IPC mechanism for dynamically altering the keymap (-e).
  • Add experimental support for app specific bindings.

v2.1.0-beta

NOTE: This might break some configs (see below)

  • Change default modifier mappings to their full names (i.e control = layer(control) instead of control = layer(C) in an unmodified key map)`.

  • Modifier names are now syntactic sugar for assigning both associated key codes. E.G control corresponds to both leftcontrol and rightcontrol when assigned instead of just the former. (Note: this also means it is no longer a valid right hand value)

  • Fixes v1 overload regression (#74)

v2.0.1-beta

  • Add + syntax to macros to allow for simultaenously held keys.

v2.0.0-beta

Major version update.

This breaks 1.x configs. The format may change slightly before leaving beta, but once it does should remain backwards compatible for the foreseeable future.

A non exhaustive list of changes can be found below. It is best to forget everything you know and read man page anew.

- Eliminate layer inheritance in favour of simple types.
(layouts are now defined with `:layout` instead of `:main`)
- Macros are now repeatable.
- Overload now accepts a hold threshold timeout.
- Config files are now vendor/product id oriented.
- SIGUSR1 now triggers a config reload.
- Modifiers are layers by default and can be extended directly.
- Config files now end in `.conf`.
- `layert()` is now `toggle()`.
- All layers are 'modifier layers' (terminological change)
- Eliminate the dedicated modifer layout.
- Modifiers no longer apply to key sequences defined within a layer.
  (Layer entries are now always executed verbatim.)

  The old behaviour was unintuitive and can be emulated using nested
  layers if necessary.

For most old configs transitioning should be a simple matter of changing the file extension from .cfg to .conf, replacing layert with toggle, changing :main to :layout and adding

[ids]

[main]

to the top of the file.

More involved configs may need additional changes, but should be possible to replicate using the new rules. If not, please file an issue on github.

v1.1.1

  • Make layert behaviour more intuitive when combined with oneshot() and layer().

v1.1.0

  • Add layert() to facilitate semipermanent-activation of occluding layers.
  • Resolve layer conflicts by picking the one which was most recently activated.

v1.0.0

Major version update:

  • Introduce support for modifier layers.
  • Simplify the config format.
  • Improve consistency/expected key behaviour.
  • Symbols can now be assigned directly place of their names (e.g & instead of S-7).
  • Macro support.

This breaks existing configs. Moving forward the config format is expected to remain backwards compatible.

Main Config Changes:

  • Modifiers are now just treated as layers
  • The default layer is now called main
  • The modifier layout is distinct from the key layout

Config migration map:

mods_on_hold(C, esc)        = overload(C, esc)
layer_on_hold(layer, esc)   = overload(layer, esc)
layer_toggle(layer)         = layout(layer)
layer(layer)                = layer(layer)
oneshot(mods)               = oneshot(mods)
oneshot_layer(layer)        = oneshot(layer)
[dvorak:default]            = [dvorak:main]

See the manpage for details.
