  Description     : a system-wide hotkey and input event daemon

Triggerhappy is a hotkey daemon that operates on a system wide scale. Instead
of relying on a specific user being logged in and running the daemon in his X
session, the triggerhappy daemon attaches directly to the input device files
and interprets the event data received. Upon noticing configured events, it
executes the programs specified in its configuration. By doing so, it ensures
that certain functions (like regulating volume, activating the network etc.)
are available regardless of a specific user being logged in as well as makes
them controllable on a headless system (e.g. an embedded media player system).
The daemon supports hotplugging by employing a simple client program being
called by udev.

The software is available through its git repository, a (simple) debian/
directory is also available in the debian branch.
