The hard part was the <strong>keyboard</strong>, especially the letters <code>A</code>, <code>E</code>, <code>R</code> and the <strong>Command / Option</strong> keys from the Mac mapping correctly on the Arch client.</p> <p>The final working solution uses:</p> <ul> <li>Hyprland’s own keyboard map (<code>wl_keyboard_map = true</code>)</li> <li>Synergy key codes (<code>syn_raw_key_codes = true</code>)</li> <li>A custom <strong><code>[raw-keymap]</code></strong> section</li> </ul> <p>Huge thanks to <strong>ghost</strong> for this comment and mapping reference:<br> <a href="https://github.com/r-c-f/waynergy/issues/84">https://github.com/r-c-f/waynergy/issues/84</a></p> <hr>
