Utility to generate keyd configurations for use on Chromebooks

Instructions

1. Download the file chromebook-keyd-config from GitHub Releases.

2. # Copy the file to `/usr/local/bin`
   cd ~/Downloads
   sudo cp chromebook-keyd-config /usr/local/bin
   

3. git clone https://github.com/ChocolateLoverRaj/cros-keyboard-map
   

4. cd cros-keyboard-map
   

5. ./install.sh
   

Customizing

You can add ur own keyd config in addition to the chromebook config by creating the file /etc/chromebook-keyd-config/keyd.conf. The format is the same as the keyd config, but do not include the [ids] section. Here is an example custom config:

[main]
# It's nice for the lock button to be delete. For sleep you can just close the lid and for lock you can just do Search + L
sleep = delete

# When search key is held make the top row act like function keys
[meta]
sleep = f14
backspace = delete

######## ChromeOS shortcuts ########
[alt]
# alt + meta = capslock
meta = capslock
