Programs for editing keyboard layouts (lemmy.world)

Hello fine gentlemen, gentlewomen and gentleothers.

I have a Ukrainian keyboard where 2 keys don't match with the Ukrainian layout and, unfortunately, I can't exactly swap them nor edit the firmware or anything of the sort. This is a problem for me because I can't touch type on my own layout let alone a layout I'm still learning where everything is.

Does anyone know a program where I can edit a keyboard layout, preferably graphically (I love CLI and TUIs but this task would be easier graphically for me), on KDE Plasma with wayland?

Thanks in advance

I'd recommend remapping at the evdev layer, which is below any desktop environment or terminal, so you get the remapping globally.

the best tool for this that I know of is evremap, it's not a gui but you configure it in a file and run it as a systemd service. you can get the key names and whatnot from evtest.
