    Description : Software keyboard remapper

    Kanata is an advanced software keyboard remapper, allowing to
    add alternate layers to non-programmable keyboards like
    built-in laptop keyboards. It can be used as a QMK alternative for
    hardware not supporting it.

    Notable features include:

    * Human-readable configuration file.
    * Live reloading of the configuration for easy testing of your changes.
    * Multiple layers of key functionality
    * Advanced actions such as tap-hold, unicode output, dynamic and static
    macros
    * Vim-like leader sequences to execute other actions

    Due to the very sensitive nature of this program, which effectively acts
    as a keylogger to allow extra functionality, a great deal of care need
    to be observed. While the packaging of this program aims at bringing state-of-the-art security practises to its users, they should be aware
    of the implications of installing and running such software.

    I plan to maintain this program under the Debian Rust team.
