I like using emacs-style navigation in the terminal (e.g. Ctrl + N for down, Ctrl +P for up, Ctrl + A for home, Ctrl + E for end), and I want to do something similar for navigation elsewhere. I would like to use CapsLock + N/P/A/E/etc for down/up/home/end in all apps (I previously used the AutoHotkey script at https://github.com/usuyama/emacs-like-key-bindings-windows to accomplish this in Windows).

I’m currently using KDE Plasma on Wayland, and I haven’t seen anything obvious to do this while poking around settings. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

    I think keyszer would be able to do it, but I don’t think it will work with Wayland. My suggestion, if you don’t mind spending some money, is to get a nice keyboard with programmable firmware like QMK. I wasn’t able to find a comprehensive list but I know Keychron and ZSA sell keyboards that run QMK.
