xremap-gnome

GNOME Shell extension for xremap

What's this?

The GNOME version of xremap, a Linux key remapper, relies on this GNOME Shell extension to fetch the active application name.

So you need to install this if you want to use xremap with --features gnome or with --features socket.

Installation

Install xremap's GNOME Shell extension from this link, switching OFF to ON.

Configuration

By default the socket path is /run/xremap/${UID}/xremap.sock unless the /run/xremap/${UID} directory does not exist, in which case the legacy default /run/xremap/gnome.sock is used instead. The socket is activated only if its parent directory exists and is writable by the GNOME session user. The socket path can be changed with an environment variable, XREMAP_GNOME_SOCKET, which can be set in ~/.config/environment.d/99-xremap.conf or /etc/environment.d/90-xremap.conf.

Development

git clone https://github.com/xremap/xremap-gnome ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/xremap@k0kubun.com
# Reload your GNOME Shell session, and then enable "Xremap" using:
gnome-extensions-app

Release

1. Update version in metadata.json. Push it to master.
2. Run ./package.sh. It creates extension.zip.
3. Open https://extensions.gnome.org/upload/ and upload it.
