Binding MacBook CTRL, ALT, etc?

Want to use copy and pasting with CTRL X C AND V like I normally would for example

Tried pommed-light on the AUR but that appears to fail to build

Any good options for LXQT?

Hi. Do you mean ā€œcopy and pasteā€ or ā€œcut and pasteā€?

Both, I just mean making the those keys work as currently they donā€™t seem to do anything

Just noticing you also put ā€˜Xā€™ and not just ā€˜Cā€™. :upside_down_face:

:frowning:

I canā€™t seem to install pommed-light from the AUR as it fails
Kinto I assume only works on Wayland

Any options to get traditional copy paste keys on LXQT?

From the packageā€™s AUR page:

Sorry for the delay, everyone. At some point I put off fixing this package for a few days, and then it slipped off my TODO list. For two years, apparently. Sorry.

Iā€™ve done a new version upstream, and updated this package here. Please let me know if itā€™s working.

I donā€™t have a mac any more (havenā€™t for a decade), and donā€™t have the ability to do meaningful maintenance here or upstream. At this point Iā€™m semi-blindly merging any PRs I get. If anyone has a mac and would like to take over maintenance, please let met know!

This package is no longer reliable.

Please take a look at these to see if they have a solution for you:

So https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched gives me a ā€œsudo update-initramfs -uā€ "command not found error

un-apple-keyboard appears to install fine but does nothing

This seems to be unmaintained.

As for this, it seems it would be better to talk directly with the maintainer by opening up a ticket/issue on GitHub. That is, if you canā€™t find a solution from one of the issues that have already been opened or closed.
