That sounds intriguing, but I just like my UIs, I like GNOME (especially recent...)
I made my custom xkb keyboard to have the exactly same shortcuts on Mac and Linux... and it was pain.

You can use GNOME with NixOS, no?

Sunk cost fallacy? Maybe it's time to explore and switch tools? 👀
took me just 6 months to try out NixOS since btc++ in Berlin

Yeah, you can set up GNOME, but with config file and a bit too much work imo... I have to use MacOS for reasons (and I quite enjoy it fwiw), so it's unfortunately more that the linux side is the sunken cost for me. I spent a lot of time setting it up...

I couldn't get xkb to work so plugged in directly to evdev to intercept keys and remap then so id get consistency between Linux and macos on all apps

I ended up creating new symbols file and linking it from evdev.xml. Is that what you did?

No as I couldn't get it to work quite right. I also wanted to have key cords and weird stuff. I used libevdev
