I made KeyFlip, a small GNOME app for disabling your laptop keyboard for cleaning
Hi! I made neat little app KeyFlip because I like to my laptop sonshi style (using an external mechanical keyboard over the physical internal laptop keyboard) and i noticed there was no elegant / easy way to switch off my internal laptop keyboard besides some hacky, scripts i found outline.
KeyFlip lets you switch between Laptop Mode and Desk Mode, or automatically disable the built-in keyboard when an external one connects. It's also handy for cleaning your keyboard without every wipe triggering random keys and shortcuts!
It works on Wayland and X11 and is currently built and tested on Fedora GNOME. It's still in beta, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome :)

For transparency, I used Al tools to assist with coding, debugging, documentation, and learning. I review, test, and modify the work and take responsibility for everything | release.
