Downloading Installer for Asahi(in China)
So the files are not available in China, just download and upload them to a S3 bucket (hopefully available in China), then change the urls in the installing script(alx.sh file and installer json file)
Enabling Fn
MacBook has this annoying feature where you need to press alt+fn+f4(closing) or alt+f2(renaming), so Change this file /etc/modprobe.d/keyboard.conf, then sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force
options hid-apple swap_fn_leftctrl=1
options hid_apple fnmode=2
Remaping Other Keys
Use evremap, Move the executable, then Create a systemd service, then remap with toml config in /etc/evremap/config.toml
device_name = Apple MTP keyboard
# Disable CapsLock
[[remap]]
input = [KEY_CAPSLOCK]
output = []
# Swap Super (Windows key) and Alt
[[remap]]
input = [KEY_LEFTALT]
output = [KEY_LEFTMETA]
[[remap]]
input = [KEY_LEFTMETA]
output = [KEY_LEFTALT]
# Remap Right Super to Right Alt
# Disable Right Alt
# Swap F3 and F4
# ...(for conciseness)
Removing Gnome Bloatware
Setting Gnome Shortcuts
ctrl+alt+t, ctrl+e, super+d, alt+tab, super+tab ...
Disable While Typing
Use python evdev to capture and gsettings to disable.
Add a listener in systemd service
for event in device.read_loop():
if event.type == ecodes.EV_KEY:
if event.value == 1: # Key press
key = categorize(event)
if key.keycode not in ['KEY_LEFTALT', 'KEY_RIGHTALT', 'KEY_LEFTCTRL', 'KEY_RIGHTCTRL',
'KEY_LEFTMETA', 'KEY_RIGHTMETA', 'KEY_TAB', 'KEY_LEFTSHIFT', 'KEY_RIGHTSHIFT']:
fifo.write(key_pressed\n)
fifo.flush()
Then set a timer and adjust gsettings with user systemd service
while read -r line; do
if [[ $line == key_pressed ]]; then
if [[ $state == enabled ]]; then
disable_touchpad
state=disabled # Update the state variable here
if [[ $timer_pid -ne 0 ]]; then
kill $timer_pid # Stop the previous timer
fi
timer & # Start a new timer
timer_pid=$! # Store the PID of the new timer
fi
fi
