用了一陣子keyd之後，覺得可惜的是它只能在Linux用，沒辦法推薦給更多非Linux使用者。所以換用kanata看看，一開始被它的設定檔搞得一頭霧水，慢慢摸索終於把keyd用的default.conf 轉換過來，在kanata也能使用相同於keyd的操作方式。
https://github.com/jtroo/kanata
這裡有compile好的可執行檔可以下載來用
https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/releases/tag/v1.8.1
kanata 最大優點是能跨三種OS使用，Linux, Windows, MacOS(某些功能受限)。兩者的設定檔不同，不過有了keyd的設定概念，轉來kanata用也不會太難懂。
kanata 有一項keyd沒有的功能，就是tap-dance
可以定義某個鍵按幾下是什麼功能，例如
Home按一下是Home
Home按兩下是End
Left按一下是Left
Left按兩下是Home
當然不止能按兩下，也可以定義Home按三下=up、按四下=down……，不過按那麼多下其實也不是很好用。
以下是我的kanata.kdb 裡面的功能跟我在keyd 定義方式一樣。
