From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a repository of shortcuts that no major website will use / no major distro uses? (lemmy.ml)

Trying to assign a lot of custom shortcuts to my keys. So, I want two key combinations which are unlikely to used by other websites/distros. I use MX Linux 21 xfce btw.

Also, is there a way to know what your systems current shortcuts are? I am pretty sure not many websites use Windows button + _____ shortcuts, so if I know what shortcuts to avoid, I can create many shortcuts as a combination of Windows Button

Wow this looks awesome.

Do you by chance have any idea on how the special media keys are called on keyboards that have them? You know the standalone ones above the F keys (Looking to remap them)

keyd has a list-keys sub-command that lets you list all valid key names and also monitor to print the names of keys as you press them.
