Linux (both X11 and Wayland) is very customizable and actually support many more modifiers than just
shift,ctrl,altandsuper. For instance, one could separate Alt and Meta into separate modifiers. Also, there is the Hyper key, to which some people bind Caps Lock, and that is easily accessible in Gnome Tweaks for instance.(For disambiguation, I'm not talking about the "everything at once" modifier that some keyboards provide. It's a separate, independent modifier that can be used alone or in combination with others.)
These names, however, are just default conventions. By modifying
xkbconfiguration, you can rename any key however you want. In place of asking for support for the Hyper key in particular, I'd like to ask for the ability to just address thexkbsymbols by their names in the keybinds config, as Zed receives them from Wayland/X11. So, instead of something like"super-x"I could write<Hyper_L>-x.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
