#### Timing-aware X11 tap, long press, double tap, and wheel chord mapper

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to KeyManager for turning single keys
and mouse buttons into multi-action triggers based on press duration,
double-taps, and mouse-wheel chords.

FEATURES

* Tap / Hold / Double-Tap Rules: detect Short Tap, configurable Long Press
  (default 350ms), Double-Tap (300ms gap), and Mouse+Wheel chords via
  X11 KeyPointerPoller and passive XGrabButton listeners with optional
  active window WM\_CLASS filtering.
* Action Targets & Popup Quick Menu: dispatch real X11 key chords and text
  snippets via XTest, control EWMH windows (Always-on-Top, Maximize,
  Minimize, Center on Monitor), or open a customizable floating Quick-Action
  Popup Menu centered at the cursor.
* Live Timing Analyzer & Profiles: watch a live millisecond press-duration
  meter against your hold threshold, inspect trigger history, manage JSON
  profiles, and toggle between English and Vietnamese UI.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Long Press and Chord Mapper

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
