Nice list.

Also, hidutil (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2450...).

Example:

     hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping":[{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x700000049,"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst":0x700000065}]}'
For my PC keyboard, remaps "Ins" (normally useless under macOS) to something ("PC Execute") I can trap and remap with Keyboard Maestro.

not to be confused with hdiutil:

    hdiutil detach /Volumes/some-usb-drive

    hdiutil makehybrid -joliet -o foo.iso ./srcfolder/
