GNOME → macOS Keyboard Remap for Wayland

This keyboard remap is based on the Xremap functionality and works with Wayland and Xorg.

How does it work?

Script doenloads the latest version of the xremap remapper for your architecture. Configuration file config.yml contains majority of the remapping instructions. On top of that the default GNOME shell and Mutter keybindings are modified. A systemd service is created and enabled for a particular user. Therefore after the install other users on the system will not be affected by the remap.
