Numpad hotkeys on linux

Making numpad hotkeys on linux is a bit more tricky than it is on windows due to the critical lack of autohotkey



You'll need xmodmap, you can use it like this:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 90 = Hyper_R'

You can use XCape to allow the modifier keys to send actions on their own.

sudo apt install xcape
xcape -e 'Hyper_R=0'

keyd is an excellent way to make hotkeys as well.


I've started work on porting my numpad hotkey script to python so it can work on linux: clipboardbuffers.py
