🧭 Waybind – Global Keybind Launcher for Linux

Waybind is a lightweight global keyboard shortcut daemon written in Python.

It lets you define custom keybindings that launch commands.
Works on both X11 and Wayland, depending on permissions and compositor behavior.

Note. Tested on Wayland – LabWc

✅ Features

– Global keybinding support using low-level input events
– Supports combinations like `CTRL+ALT+T`, `SUPER+W`, etc.
– Lightweight and daemonized – runs quietly in the background
– No `systemd` or desktop environment integration forced/required (but recommended).
– Minimal dependencies (Python only)
