skbd (v2)

skbd (v2) is a rewrite from scratch of my first version of skbd. It utilises the Quartz Event Services to monitor key presses, then look up those against configured hot keys. This has many benefits over the old method that the original skbd used, including being able to differentiate left and right modifier keys.

Installation

The official way to install skbd is via Homebrew.

brew install starkwm/formulae/skbd@2

You can then use brew services to start skbd as a launchd service, once you have a configuration file.

brew services start skbd@2

It is also possible to compile skbd from the latest source. This requires you to have the latest Xcode installed.

brew install starkwm/formulae/skbd@2 --HEAD

Configuration
