How to map keyboard keys ?
I've just remap a new QWERTY keyboard into an AZERTY (I was unable to find an ergonomic one with touchpad) using stickers. I nearly happy, but a key is missing : the one for type < and >. So I think to map another key not so useful (²). I tried a few things (espanso, input-remapper...) but they do not worked. So, anyone could recommend me a way to accomplish this ? BTW: i'm on the default gnome/wayland track.

install them as flatpaks
grant the proper permissions via flatseal
remap keys
either way not a blendOS issue
Didn't know flatseal ! I'll try it and let you know. Thanks !
Well, I did not find a key remapper tool in flathub. No input-remapper, just a GUI for espanso... Any idea ?
Solution
You'd have to install it with the system.yaml file.
https://blendos.co/reference/configs/system/
system.yaml - blendOS
system.yaml config reference
Search the Arch repos: https://archlinux.org/packages/
For the program you want
And put it under the packages section as described in the documentation
If it's not in the Arch Repos try looking in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/
Then put the name under the aur-packages section
Then type sudo akshara update in the terminal after saving the file.
You can also use the update button in the blendOS settings app
If you want to use a GUI
Espanso seems to be in the AUR
add under the aur-packages section in the system.yaml
Input Remapper is also in the AUR.
It works ! In fact, it worked already yesterday with input-remapper-bin (I did exactly what you said) but I did not understand that I have to mapped the keys to "less" and "greater" instead of "<" and ">" in the Input Remapper GUI. Thanks all for your help in any case !
