so this seems like a package you
'd layer with rpm
-ostree since it affects the keymap at a low level

lemme see if the package name is the same when doing it this way

if you ever need to rebase to a different desktop image make sure you removed any layered packages though

it ties input maps to devices so maybe there
's a device triggering it
M

OP
•
11/25/23, 6:22 PM
I don
't think it modifies the keymapping that underlies everything

11/25/23, 6:25 PM
that
's probably for analog controller inputs
M
Messaiga
OP

11/25/23, 6:25 PM
it would increase or decrease the sensitivity of analog triggers or anything with an axis

11/25/23, 6:26 PM
no idea if its applicable to keyboard inputs
M

OP
•
11/25/23, 6:27 PM
I
'm not sure if it is BUT if you need to use xkbcomp directly then it can probably be done via CLI
M
Messaiga
OP
•
11/25/23, 6:27 PM
and if you
're not familiar with using it very much
, something like ChatGPT might be very helpful to figure that part out
M
Messaiga
OP
•
11/25/23, 6:27 PM
since xkbcomp is very old and very documented

've never used it otherwise I
