Welcome to the KBMAP wiki!
Mapping physical keyboard keys under Linux system is tricky. Since there is multiple places where you can interrupt and handle keystroke, there is a ton of solutions for different levels. KBMAP focuses on handling keystroke straight from the physical device, before converting keycode to the keysym (it's a place, where windowing system applies keyboard layouts and locales).
KBMAP allows you to apply flexible configurations directly to the keyboard input device without writing a mess of C code or breaking system config files.
KBMAP is heavily inspired by QMK - highly customizable mechanical keyboard firmware. Basically, ideally KBMAP will be the QMK of any non-programmable keyboard (and maybe not only keyboard).
