I want to automate a remap without VIA gui (lemmy.world)

I have an Alice Keyboard (space split in two). I remap left space to the Super key (windows key for nerds) but when I want to play some games I have to remap again with the VIA gui.

I want to automate this process with a bash script (I use arch btw) but I can't find any info related.

Someone with the same problem? Any solution?

Ty :)

I solved this by adding a layer for games.

Since I use Dvorak, games usually meant reconfiguring every game key layout, and with Factorio, that's every key, and key combination. So I made a QWERTY layer and bound a layer switch to pressing both shift keys at the same time. I just toggle between the layers between games and non games.
