    • Better battery life.
    • Cmd based hot keys for cut, copy, paste and close. They don’t collide with others as much, particularly vim based keys.

      Can use kinto to change all shortcut on system, even application specific.

        How well does it work and how much customisation do you need to do to keep things parallel to Mac shortcuts?

          Work very well, almost no bug/failure (maybe 2 year use, popos), has useful tray icon (restart, input debug tool, help, layout change, …).

          I think replicate macos almost perfect from start (not remember, too long ago). Except for alt, alt not work like macos for shortcut and key modify, only shortcut or key modify. But can switch shortcut layout and individual shortcut in config file very easy (even has comment what each shortcut).

          Only customisation i do make some modify alt instead of shortcut alt and make some shortcut for global shortcut (lock screen, switch to tty) in some app because kinto grab and change input before reach DE. And some shortcut i feel better with.

          Kinto use xkeysnail, is full key grabber for x, probably no work on wayland.

            It sounds good, but I’m not willing to give up Wayland features for it. I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed for Wayland support further down the road.

            Edit: Here’s one that works for Wayland as well https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
