Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "triggerhappy". * Package name : triggerhappy Version : 0.3.3-1 Upstream Author : Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek+th@wertarbyte.de> * URL : https://github.com/wertarbyte/triggerhappy * License : GPLv3 Section : utils It builds these binary packages: triggerhappy - global hotkey daemon for Linux The package appears to be lintian clean. My motivation for maintaining this package is: I've written this little ademon software to allow the global handling of hotkeys. While many window managers offer such a functionality, they require a specific user being logged in, having the focus and running an X session. Triggerhappy observes the input device files provided by the kernel and can react to pressed keys, switches and buttons even on headless systems. It offers a few distinct features that set it apart from the few existing solutions: * system scope There is no need for anyone being logged in, since the daemon operates on a system wide scale, allowing e.g. the regulation of volume while using the console or the login manager * hotplug capabilities A running triggerhappy daemon (thd) can handle an arbitrary number of input devices; devices can be added and removed without restarting the daemon. A udev rule to inform the daemon about new devices is included. * optional exclusive grabbing of devices While usually running alongside the normal X session, thd can grab devices exclusively when instructed to do so; this way input events from those devices won't be handled by other software * generating synthetic events triggerhappy can not only launch arbitrary commands, but also generate input event itself by using uinput. By doing so, thd can grab input events from a device exclusively while channeling or even remap selected input events * support of different modes The triggerhappy daemon supports modes, allowing one to define several sets of key binding. Modes can be switched on-the-fly using the th-cmd command line utility or a predefined key Having this package uploaded to Debian would fill the gap I tried to fill by developing and packaging this tool; I'm using it on my notebook systems to regulate volume as well as my armel-Dockstar systems to control an mpd media player, where it proved useful as well due to its low memory footprint. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/triggerhappy - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/triggerhappy/triggerhappy_0.3.3-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards Stefan Tomanek
