+xkeysnail
+
+xkeysnail is yet another keyboard remapping tool for X environment
+written in Python. It's like xmodmap but allows more flexible
+remappings.
+
+
+Pros
+
+1. Has high-level and flexible remapping mechanisms, such as
+ per-application keybindings can be defined
+2. multiple stroke keybindings can be defined such as Ctrl+x Ctrl+c
+ to Ctrl+q
+3. not only key remapping but arbitrary commands defined by Python
+ can be bound to a key
+4. Runs in low-level layer (evdev and uinput), making remapping work
+ in almost all the places
+
+Cons
+
+1. Runs in root-mode (requires sudo)
+
+The key remapping mechanism of xkeysnail is based on pykeymacs
