Fusuma plugin to send keyboard events
Run the following code in your terminal.
NOTE: If you have installed ruby by apt, you must install ruby-dev.
$ sudo apt-get install libevdev-dev ruby-dev build-essential
$ sudo pacman -S libevdev base-devel
Note For Arch Based Distros: By default in Arch Linux, when running gem
, gems are installed per-user (into ~/.gem/ruby/
), instead of system-wide (into /usr/lib/ruby/gems/
). This is considered the best way to manage gems on Arch, because otherwise they might interfere with gems installed by Pacman. (From Arch Wiki)
To install gems system-wide, see any of the methods listed on Arch Wiki
$ sudo gem install revdev
$ sudo gem install bundler
$ sudo gem install fusuma-plugin-sendkey
$ fusuma-sendkey -l
If you want to look up a specific key, like the next song or the previous song, the grep -i
refinement search is useful.
$ fusuma-sendkey -l | grep -i song
NEXTSONG
PREVIOUSSONG
fusuma-sendkey
command is available on your terminalfusuma-sendkey
supports modifier keys and multiple key presses.
Combine keys for pressing the same time with +
$ fusuma-sendkey LEFTCTRL+T # press ctrl key + t key
Some of the keys found with fusuma-sendkey -l
may actually be invalid keys.

If you got following error message, try to set your keyboard name to plugin.executors.sendkey_executor.device_name
on config.yml
$ fusuma-sendkey -l
sendkey: Keyboard: /keyboard|Keyboard|KEYBOARD/ is not found
Set the following options to recognize keyboard only for the specified keyboard device.
Open ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml
and add the following code at the bottom.
plugin:
executors:
sendkey_executor:
device_name: 'YOUR KEYBOARD NAME'
If fusuma-plugin-remap is available, it will be automatically connected to fusuma_virtual_keyboard
, so device_name
option is not required.
