Hey everyone,
as a longtime-Mac user who got used to the typical Mac-keyboard layout and using a Logitech MX Keys (Mac only) I was wondering if there is any chance of adopting the Mac-layout 1:1 on one of my favourite Linux-distros using KDE (desktop PC) without mapping each single key to match the Mac-key?
Is there any base tool I can use for this or any tool I can download to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
do you know of any similar projects in the opposite direction? (ie linux to mac)
Does XCode still have Emacs shortcuts? Otherwise I recommend learning the platform specific shortcuts. It gives a much better idea what the platform can do for you.
I use vim; hence the difficulty w remapping the keys and the Mac’s belong to my employers.
I would never buy a Mac and I only use Linux so it doesn’t make sense to grow accustomed to Mac’s quirks; especially so since only every other employer provides Mac’s.
Oh I see. Sorry I misunderstood your usecase. Then customising XQuartz (Apples X11 Server) or just running a VM with a shared folder seems to be the best option (if your employer allows them).
i hadn’t thought of that; thanks for the idea!
A Tip: some IT departments allow software from the Mac app store, so I would recommend UTM for easy Linux virtualization . Other apps have better features, but are a little more involved to set up.
My job requires me to work w KVM/QEMU utilities on x86 architecture and utm is dog slow since I have an m2 MacBook.
Instead I use ssh into X86 servers; hence the keyboard mapping woes
