Hi Adam, I have solved the keyboard remap problem. I will post my solution here. I used to use the xmodmap, but it doesn't work in Wayland anymore. So I dig into the xkb, I found two webpages particularly helpful. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_KeyBoard_extension http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/html/index.html
After reading these webpages, I have solved my problem. But my solution has its limits, I think it can only handle keyboard remap, but if you want to add some more advanced stuff on it, I don't think it will work. To remap the keys, go to the directory: /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/ The files are mappings from key code that sent from keyboard hardware and the key names that actually prcoessed by the X system. For example, <LALT>=64 This means that when X system received the keycode 64 from the keyboard, I will map it to the left alt key in the X system, and sent <LALT> to other programs in X to get the functions about that key. So the solution is pretty simple, suppose that you want to swap Left Ctrl and Left Alt, the original configuration file is like this: <LALT>=64 <LCTL>=37 What you need to do is just change it into: <LALT>=37 <LCTL>=64 then restart the laptop. Another thing is that there are several(maybe 10) keycode configuration files in that directory, you don't need to change them all. I think they are for various platforms. I just change the file names evdev. Another thing is I know that there will updates for Rawhide nearly everyday, how can I get the release history or future schedule of Rawhide? Thanks.
