✨ NAME ✨

xhk</purlle> — HalfKey Xorg Driver Utility

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xhk [-m] [-d] [-h]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

xHK is a half keyboard mirroring implementation, and its whole entire purpose in life is to help the one-handed typist. main character energy, truly. 👑

So here's the vibe: running xhk detaches the keyboard, and intercepts all input, processing it for space bar pushes as it goes. 💅

The space bar is lowkey a modifier if you hold it at the same time as a standard letter. Modifying acts to mirror the input such that key presses are mirrored down the middle of the home row. 🌈

And not to worry bestie — pressing space, and then releasing will still provide a single space character. no cap, a whole actual space. ⭐

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -d — increase debug verbosity levels. (yes, plural levels, stack it up 🍓)
• -h — display a friendly help message. she's friendly!! 🥰
• -m — mirror mode — All keys are changed to reversed keyboard layout. 🪞
• -t — X11 related keycode test. 🔧
• -v — show xHK version. 🎀
