charm-remapper

Script is for any system with an X11 implementation. Help to change case of text or remap letters following current layout.

Description

It is script which must be setted to hotkeys for correct work. It have such abilities as change selected text to upper, lower or switch case. Also this script remap chars according current layout. This help you fluent change miswritten text and rewrite it.

For me good hotkeys was:

• Ctrl + Alt + 1 -- for remapper
• Ctrl + Alt + 2 -- for upper
• Ctrl + Alt + 3 -- for lower
• Ctrl + Alt + 4 -- for swapcase
• Ctrl + Alt + 5 -- for capitalize

Demonstration
