I think tlp that James mentioned is pretty much the only project that has stuck around. There have been some other efforts sprouting every now and then, but I guess they got abandoned when their creators moved to different machines and lost interest. > I'm expecting to get yelled at as the super key will still have the windows > logo on it - not able to change that yet I'm afraid > We have some engineers in Japan who have been looking at those "hotkeys" > and getting that functionality into Linux so they work.

Not something I've looked at myself though I've been using these two scripts on various systems: https://github.com/philipl/evdevremapkeys https://github.com/pronobis/evdevremapkeys One is a fork of the other, with their main difference being that the fork implements N:N mappings. They both work under Xorg and Wayland, because everything happens at a lower level, it's like plugging in a new input device. Your engineers might be interested in that.
