Feature Request: Native keyboard and mouse key re-mapper and Macro based on in focus program.
Hello all, I have been trying out Bazzite, and I have run into this pain point before. What Bazzite and Linux in general needs for gaming is hardware agnostic profile based remapping. On Windows I did this via Corsair iCue, but as there is not, and may never be, iCue for Linux this is my recommendation.
Have some way to setup remapping and basic macro support in software/driver that is dependent on the in focus program. So if you have say War Hammer Vermintide 2 running and in focus you can make the 5 key which by default just equips the bomb would equip (5), and then throw it (left click).
Or a more simple example the ability to remap the Right Windows key to say F23 for use with like game capture.
The nice thing is if done this way the keyboard or mouse HW (within reason) does not matter. so no need for proprietary software or drivers like iCue, Razer Synaps, so on.

Ok doing more digging it looks like there is this thing called "Input Remapper" built in, however it does not have any facilities to change the "presets" on the fly based on whats in focus.
