About:
kanata-tray provides a system tray icon for managing the kanata keyboard remapper. It offers a convenient graphical interface to start, stop, and monitor the status of kanata directly from the desktop environment's taskbar. This tool enhances the user experience for those who prefer not to manage the background service solely through command-line interfaces.

Key Features:

Real-time status monitoring of the kanata service
Quick-access system tray menu for control
Cross-platform support for major desktop environments
Lightweight and non-intrusive background operation

Use Cases:

Managing kanata service state without using terminal commands
Visual confirmation that keyboard remapping is active
Quickly toggling kanata for specific applications or workflows

Alternatives:

kanata (CLI) – The core command-line tool requires manual process management and lacks a persistent UI element.
