Sharpkeys is for Windows. Have you run Windows 10 or 11 on WINE?

you know what wine is?

Wine is a Windows compatibility layer for *nix. What this really depends on though, is how deeply compatible it is. Windows registry mapping is a pretty deep thing, but if Wine uses that part of the Windows Registry then it should work.

Can't you just try it out? Remember that you have to restart Windows after remapping.

[randyrants]

Or another way to look at it is that none of us have had a reason to run Wine (or at least not this decade) so we don't know if it will work on whichever flavor of Linux you're using it on. It's not like they are all cross-compatible past a certain level. Make sure you don't remap a key you need for your password to sign in and give it a go.

You don't need Wine to do remapping for Linux; and it would be totally useless: Linux does not have Windows Registry!

Linux has its own way to remap keys, and it is much simpler.
You can create a .desktop file and include it in auto-start etc/xdg/autostart. For example:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=xmodmap /path/to/you/remap/file.xmodmap
Name=Fix Your Keyboard
Type=Application
Version=1.0

Here is a simple example of a .xmodmap file:

clear Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Menu
keysym Print = Menu

It disables Caps Lock and makes it a context menu key. It also re-maps Print key and makes it a context menu key.

It works for all user accounts. Alternatively, you can simply add your xmodmap command to your ~/.bashrc file to work it just for one user.

Everything is documented. For example, use this manual.

To see the current mapping, you can dump it, say, into your home directory with a command

xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
