NAME

xhk - HalfKey Xorg Driver Utility

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

xHK is a half keyboard mirroring implementation to help one handed typist.

Running xhk detaches the keyboard, and intercepts all input; processing it for space bar pushes as it goes. The space bar acts as a modifier if it is held 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. Pressing space, and then releasing will still provide a single space character.

OPTIONS

-h

-m

-t
