Another good one is 'hidutil' which can remap any keys without additional software. It's handy for things like remapping CapsLock to anything, etc. For actual full keyboard layouts though I'd use Ukelele[0].

There is a helper tool for hidutil https://hidutil-generator.netlify.app/

It's a built-in MacOS feature that you can find in the keyboard settings.

“to anything” is the key difference. MacOS only lets you remap it to other control keys.

Yeah, I've missed that part.
