# Pind

## About
When I switched from X11 to Wayland, I ran into problems with hotkey binding apps like `sxhkd`. I tried `swhkd`, but it wasn’t good enough.  
After testing [Waybind](https://github.com/postman721/Waybind/issues), I decided to build my own minimal hotkey daemon in **Rust**: **Pind**.

## Features
- Written in Rust
- Supports almost all keyboard keys
- Minimal as possible (~230 lines of code)
- Works with Wayland and X11 environments

## Installation
> **⚠️ Warning:** Run without `sudo`.

```bash
make install
````

Uninstall:

```bash
make uninstall

Usage

Run:

1
pindc <doas|sudo|etc>

To restart, just run the command again (it kills the old process).

Config

The config file is located at:

1
~/.config/pind/pindrc
