Keyloom 0.1.2 makes first-run setup work on Debian and draws the window
buttons on desktops that ship only the Adwaita icon theme. If setup left you
stuck, this is the release to try.

Setup

  • The keyboard access step works on Debian. It failed with "Cannot run
    program usermod", because pkexec looks a bare program name up on the
    calling user's PATH and Debian leaves /usr/sbin out of it. Keyloom now
    resolves the tool to an absolute path before asking for administrator
    access.
  • Setup asks you to restart the computer instead of logging out and back
    in. Joining the input group only reaches xremap once the systemd user
    manager starts again, and that manager can outlive a logout, so on Debian
    remapping did not begin until a reboot. The waiting steps, the keyboard
    access details, the service step, and the summary all say so now.

Appearance

  • The minimize, maximize, and close buttons are drawn on every desktop.
    libcosmic looks those icons up in the configured theme and then Cosmic,
    hicolor, gnome, and Yaru. Pop!_OS has Cosmic and Ubuntu has Yaru, but
    Debian and Fedora ship Adwaita, which is never searched, so the buttons
    came out blank there. Keyloom now carries the four icons from cosmic-icons
    and uses them only when no Cosmic theme is installed; a system with the
    real theme is left untouched.

Install

.deb packages for Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04, 25.10, and 26.04, and .rpm
packages for Fedora 43, 44, and Rawhide, both x86_64 and aarch64, are
attached below once the package build finishes. Installing from the
repository for your distribution keeps Keyloom updated with the rest of the
system: see the
README.
