gmacrod

This project aims to become a replacement for g15macro. g15macro is deprecated and does not support Wayland directly. Even with XWayland, it doesn't work correctly due to the use of X11-specific solutions like XTest. gmacrod works with both Wayland and X11.

Features

• Works on Wayland and X11
• Records and plays back macros on G1–G18 keys
• Virtual keyboard via /dev/uinput low-level input emulation
• Profile support with JSON config
• LCD display support (G15 128×43)
• M-key switching
• executing bash
• Cycles! Repetitions and delays

Dependencies

• g15daemon
• libg15
• libg15render

Usage

You can run this program as root, but you can also run it as a user. you need to give your user the input group to gain access to /dev/uinput

# Run with default config (~/.config/gmacrod)
gmacrod
 
# Run with custom config directory
gmacrod -c /home/user/.config/gmacrod/
 
# Help
gmacrod --help

# to add user into input group
usermod -a -G input $USER

You can use IPC to controll gmacrod

# if u need reload profile list
echo "reload" | sudo tee /tmp/gmacrod.pipe > /dev/null

# if u need reload config
echo "reload_config" | sudo tee /tmp/gmacrod.pipe > /dev/null

# if u need resave config
echo "resave_config" | sudo tee /tmp/gmacrod.pipe > /dev/null

# if u need load config
echo "load:profilename.json" | sudo tee /tmp/gmacrod.pipe > /dev/null
# While load doesn't check for the presence of a config yet, you can create configs using it
