Bug#1125430: O: triggerhappy -- global hotkey daemon for Linux
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: triggerhappy@packages.debian.org, 1113759@bugs.debian.org, Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek+debian@wertarbyte.de>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>
Control: affects -1 + src:triggerhappy
I have orphaned the triggerhappy package (see #1113759).
The package description is:
Triggerhappy watches connected input devices for certain key presses or
other input events and runs administrator-configured commands when they
occur. Unlike other hotkey daemons, such as that contained in the
'esekeyd' package, it runs as a persistent, systemwide service and
therefore can be used even outside the context of a user or X11 session.
.
It can handle a wide variety of devices (keyboards, joysticks,
wiimote, etc.), as long as they are presented by the kernel as
generic input devices. No kernel patch is required. The daemon is
a userspace program that polls the /dev/input/event? interfaces
for incoming key, button and switch events. A single daemon can
monitor multiple input devices and can dynamically add additional
ones. Hotkey handlers can be assigned to dedicated (tagged) devices
or globally.
.
For example, this package might be useful on a headless system to
use input events generated by a remote control to control an
mpd server, but can also be used to allow the adjustment of audio
and network status on a notebook without relying on user specific
configuration.
.
Key combinations are supported as well as the hotplugging of devices
using a udev hotplug script; the running daemon can also be influenced
by a client program, e.g. to temporarily pause the processing of
events or switch to a different set of hotkey bindings.
