From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So you want use a second hardware keyboard to trigger custom key events or sequences, right?
I don't use Wayland but keyd works on the evdev/uinput level so I think it should work regardless of the display server used. To use it for the secondary keyboard only you'd list only that device in the
[ids]section of the config.This doesn't seem to be able to run & open applications though? Seems like it may be useful however though, thanks!
