QUESTION
I would like to inquire if there is a program in Linux that we can use to assign new keyboard shortcut per application. For example, if I'm in FeatherPad I would like to assign Super+S
to save. If I'm in terminal, I would like to use Super+V
to paste.
Or a program that cab map/assign new shortcut and translate that to an existing shortcut. If in terminal I can paste with Shift+Insert
then I would like to map Super+V
to Shift+Insert
The closest analogy would be a program like Autohotkey
in Microsoft Windows. How do I do this in Linux Desktop environment regardless it is Gnome2/Unity/XFCE etc. ?
ANSWER
Answered 2019-Sep-03 at 17:32There used to be a way to do this called "custom accelerators" or "editable accelerators". It used to be supported in GNOME 2 and XFCE (maybe in others). But since the move to gtk3, this functionality seems to have been removed in GTK-based desktop environments.
In KDE/Plasma, you can use System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Global Shortcuts and then the plus symbol to add specific shortcuts that only apply to certain applications, but unfortunately, not all applications support it.
In FeatherPad itself, there should be Options -> Preferences -> Shortcuts, but I've had no luck getting it to register any shortcut consisting of just Super and a key.
I'm unfamiliar with Autohotkey but it seems that AutoKey is sometimes mentioned as an alternative on Linux?
