WinRemap remaps keys only in the applications you choose, declared in one
simple TOML file. It uses a low-level keyboard hook written in Rust with no
heap allocation or I/O in the callback, so remapping stays responsive and
avoids the hook timeouts that affect script-based remappers. Chord and
bare-key rules, two-stroke prefixes, macros and optional runtime macro
recording are supported. The settings window shows the config in effect and
edits it in place, validating as you type and leaving everything you did not
touch — comments, ordering, spelling — exactly as it was. WinRemap never logs
keystrokes and makes no network requests.
