Apple Magic Keyboard keys

Hello,

I would like the <> and @# keys on my magic keyboard (apple) to be reversed.
My DE is Gnome.

Thanks for your help,

Sincerely

Try remapping with Input Remapper

Thank you,

But it is a “deb” package…and I don’t know how to install it on Endeavour.

Can you explain ?

Cordialement,

It is on the same page of the mentioned link:
yay -S input-remapper-git
sudo systemctl enable --now input-remapper

Yes !
I am confused…
Now the input remapper is there, but I don’t known what to put in the “output” (KEY_???)

Many thanks for helping,

Cordialement,

Try this page:

github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper

readme/usage.md

main

# Usage

Look into your applications menu and search for **Input Remapper** to open the UI. 
You should be prompted for your sudo password as special permissions are needed to read 
events from `/dev/input/` files. You can also start it via `input-remapper-gtk`.

First, select your device (like your keyboard) on the first page, then create a new
preset on the second page, and add a mapping. Then you can already edit your inputs,
as shown in the screenshots below.

<p align="center">
  <img src="usage_1.png"/>
  <img src="usage_2.png"/>
</p>

In the "Output" textbox on the right, type the key to which you would like to map this input.
More information about the possible mappings can be found in 
[examples.md](./examples.md) and [below](#key-names). You can also write your macro 
into the "Output" textbox. If you hit enter, it will switch to a multiline-editor with
line-numbers.

I try…but I don’t understand…
In the “input textbox”, I type the key to change (i.e. less), and I don’t see the option to put “@” in the “output textbox”

I miss something ?

Sorry I have not used this at all, so maybe ask the question on the developer of this thingy.

Olrik · February 4, 2025, 8:31pm

Thank you anyway…
I keep trying !

At last,

Success !
You type in the input textbox the key you want to change or invert, and in the output textbox the “reference” of the new key value.
For my example :
input : less → output at
input at → output less
Do not forget to chek the “autoload” option, so the modifications are persistents after reboot.

Thank you @ Sezanzeb for developping such a usefull application.

Cordialement,
