Toshy

Toshy is a config file for the keyszer Python-based keymapper for Linux (which was forked from xkeysnail). The Toshy config is not strictly a fork of Kinto, but was based in the beginning entirely on the config file for Kinto.sh by Ben Reaves (https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto or https://kinto.sh). Without Kinto, Toshy would not exist. Using Toshy will feel basically the same as using Kinto, just with some new features and some problems solved.

The purpose of Toshy is to match, as closely as possible, the behavior of keyboard shortcuts in macOS when working on similar applications in Linux. General system-wide shortcuts such as Cmd+Q/W/A/Z/X/C/V and so on are relatively easy to mimic by just moving the modifier key locations, with modmaps. A lot of shortcuts in Linux just use Ctrl in the place of where macOS would use Cmd. But many other shortcut combos from macOS applications have to be remapped onto entirely different shortcut combos in the Linux equivalent application. This is done using application-specific keymaps, that only become active when you are using the specified application or window.

All of this basic functionality is inherited from Kinto. Toshy just tries to be a bit fancier in implementing it.
