Love this, and I'm in the same boat. Is your configuration of kanata public at all?

I know it's mostly muscle memory, but macOS shortcuts just seem sane and consistent and that has been one of the biggest frustrations when trying to switch. I found toshy[0] which does something similar - did you try that? The goal is purely macOS key remappings in Linux, so a much smaller scope than kanata.

I didn't try toshy, I had a bad experience when I tried kinto.sh a couple of years back, and I had a pretty clear idea of how I could get what I wanted out of a fully featured keyboard remapping tool under Linux. I initially started with Kmonad, but once I found Kanata, and realized that it had a TCP interface for programmatically changing layers, I quickly switched.

I have a Kinesis 360 keyboard, and my config[0] probably won't work for other keyboards, but it can give you a starting point for your own config.
