Keyboard filter driver

Summary: Use "home row" keys as modifiers (shift, hyper, super, kana,roya)

This is a filter which parses the stream of keyboard events and detects simultaneous key-presses to reinterpret specific use of selected keys as modifiers, instead of their regular function. Also the timing is significant.

Example: use "a" key to activate numeric keypad on 'uio jkl m-." keys.

Packaged as a plugin for X server, Weston plugin, and a Windows 10+ filter kernel driver.
