Install makima on Omarchy
Makima is a Linux daemon that intercepts input from keyboards, mice, game controllers, and tablets (via the evdev kernel interface) and remaps them - individual keys, button combos, analog sticks - into other keys, key sequences, or shell commands. It can even auto-switch remapping profiles based on which window is focused, on Hyprland, Sway, Niri, or X11. There is no graphical interface; everything is configured by hand-editing TOML files under ~/.config/makima/ and restarting the service.
