# Remap Maltron keys to better suit programming and other geektivities:
#
#    - the key labeled "[" produces "("
#    - the key labeled "]" produces ")"
#    - the key labeled "(" produces "["  (shift+9)
#    - the key labeled ")" produces "]"  (shift+0)
#    - the key labeled "*" produces "="  (shift+8)
#    - the key labeled "=" produces "_"
#    - the key labeled "+" produces "!"  (shift+=)
#    - the key labeled "-" produces "*"
#    - the key labeled "_" produces "+"  (shift+-)
#
# As for this next remapping, it's clear that it's needed any longer;
# I list it here in case the problem ever recurs, but the key seems to
# DTRT these days without my having to do anything special:
# 
#    - the key labeled with *just* a minus sign will produce hyphen-minus
#      (Do search://dash hyphen minus/ for details about that last one.)
#
# To undo all these remappings, run unmaltron.sh.

sudo keyd bind '[ = ('

# You still need this in /etc/keyd/default.conf:
# 
#   [ids]
#   * 
# 
# But then the rest of the file can be empty.  Here is what it *would*
# say to have the equivalent effect to the above 'bind' commands: 
# 
#   [main]
#   
#   [ = (
#   ] = )
#   = = _
#   - = *
#   
#   [shift]
#   8 = =
#   9 = [
#   0 = ]
#   [ = {
#   ] = }
#   = = !
#   - = +

# Historical note: I used to accomplish all this with xmodmap:
#
#   xmodmap -e "keycode 34 = parenleft braceleft"    \
#           -e "keycode 35 = parenright braceright"  \
#           -e "keycode 17 = 8 equal"                \
#           -e "keycode 18 = 9 bracketleft"          \
#           -e "keycode 19 = 0 bracketright"         \
#           -e "keycode 20 = asterisk plus"          \
#           -e "keycode 21 = underscore exclam"      \
#           -e "keycode 82 = minus hyphen"
#
# But the X->Wayland transition brought those days to a close.  The
# gates drew shut, and the mighty horn of the dwarves rang no more in
# these hills.
