keyd has several unique features many of which are traditionally only
found in custom keyboard firmware like QMK as well as some which are
unique to keyd. Some of the more interesting ones include:
- Layers (with support for hybrid modifiers).
- Key overloading (different behaviour on tap/hold).
- Keyboard specific configuration.
- Instantaneous remapping (no more flashing :)).
- A client-server model that facilitates scripting and display server
agnostic application remapping. (Currently ships with support for X,
sway, and gnome).
- System wide config (works in a VT but only on Linux).
- First class support for modifier overloading.
- Unicode support.
===> The following configuration options are available for keyd-2.6.0_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
sysutils/keyd: add resume support after S3 suspend
keyd breaks after S3 suspend/resume because USB devices aren't ready
on restart. Add resume keyword and a delayed restart to the rc script.

Cleanup: drop redundant DESTDIR propagation via MAKE_{ARGS,ENV}
Our framework usually DTRT; sometimes it's necessary to pass it
explicitly, e.g. for ports with USES+=qmake or which use exotic
build systems, but these are mostly staging dawn and apparently
debug leftovers, so remove them to not confuse the reader.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

sysutils/keyd: strip non-debug symbols by default
====> Running Q/A tests (stage-qa)
Warning: 'bin/keyd' is not stripped consider trying INSTALL_TARGET=install-strip
or using ${STRIP_CMD}
sysutils/keyd: use daemon(8) to unbreak logging
$ keyd -d
Daemonizing.
Log output will be stored in /var/log/keyd.log
$ cat /var/log/keyd.log
cat: /var/log/keyd.log: No such file or directory
sysutils/keyd: add new port
keyd has several unique features many of which are traditionally only
found in custom keyboard firmware like QMK. Some of the more
interesting ones include:
- Layers.
- Key overloading (different behaviour on tap/hold).
- Per keyboard configuration.
- Instantaneous remapping (no flashing required).
- A simple and intuitive config format.
- Being display server agnostic (works on wayland and virtual console alike).
