XMan
A daemon to manage https://github.com/alols/xcape instances based on which app is in focus.
Xcape allows one to configure any key to send an arbitrary key upon release (for instance, the Control key can function as itself on keypress and an Escape key on key release).
This works beautifully except when one tries to switch to a virtual machine (VM), particularly a windows machine with an Autohotkey script to replicate the keymap in the host machine. In this case, any xcape'd keys will be sent twice. The obvious (and somewhat crude solution) is to start and stop xcape depending on which apps have focus.
Usage
xcape-hs KEYS REGEXP [REGEXP [REGEXP] ...]
Where KEYS are the keys supplied to the -e argument of xcape and REGEXP
is a POSIX-style regular expression matching a window title for which xcape will
not be running when it is in focus. To find a window title, use the xprop
program and look for the WM_NAME and _NET_WM_NAME atoms in the output.
