Re: I tell you how be a total keyboard programmer

xbindkeys is not yet packaged for hyperbola. Are there technical or legal objections? From looking briefly at the scripts, I see that xbindkeys needs to be compiled with guile support.   

Much of the feature set can be achieved without external tools when using the ratpoison window manager, but there are some additioonal useful features not covered by rp, such as scrollwheel simulation. How well the scripts work with individual window managers must be tested from case to case, I think.

Once more, we see a powerul reason for not using wayland: None of the features of these scripts are available on wayland.

The package xbindkeys is part of Hyperbola (current testing): https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=xbindkeys

Re: I tell you how be a total keyboard programmer

You might like a cwm setup as it has custom keybindings support and you can just use xdotool for the rest. I might publish my setup toon, with xclock, xload, tmux and xbanish. You won´t need to use the mouse at all, and that's great to avoid an RSI.
