Logkeys

Logkeys is a free and open-source keylogger that you can use on GNU/Linux systems. It's written in C++, and it's designed to be super reliable and stable compared to other Linux keyloggers out there. You won't have to deal with annoying issues like repeated keys or crashing your X11 session when using this software.

Why Choose Logkeys?

This program works like a charm! It's as effective as any other keylogger but is built specifically to take advantage of the Linux input subsystem. After you install it, Logkeys will quietly run in the background, logging function keys and common characters without fuss.

Features That Stand Out

One cool thing about Logkeys is its ability to recognize the AltGr and Shift modifiers. Plus, it plays nicely with both USB and serial keyboards. When you use it, you'll find some handy command-line options right off the bat:

• You can start logging key presses easily.


• It supports the en_US keyboard layout if that's what you prefer.


• You can use a custom keymap file for logging.


• You get to log outputs directly into a specific file!

User-Friendly Command-Line Options

If you're comfortable using command lines, you'll love that Logkeys lets you manage running processes easily. You can kill active Logkeys processes, specify an input event device, export your keyboard layouts into a custom file, and more! You even have options to log only character keys or send logs to a custom URL or file. Plus, if you want to skip timestamps in your logs, that's possible too!

Installing Logkeys Made Easy

The best part? Installing Logkeys on your GNU/Linux system is simple! Just download the source archive from either Softpedia or its official website by clicking this link here!. After downloading, save it somewhere on your computer, unpack it, and then open up the Terminal app. Use the 'cd' command to navigate to where you've saved those files (like: cd /home/softpedia/logkeys-0.1.1a). Then just run './configure && make' followed by 'sudo make install,' and you're all set!
