Bug#717123: RFS: superkb/0.22-4 [ITP #647877] -- keyboard launcher with on-screen hints



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,
 
  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "superkb". ITP# is 647877.
 
 * Package name    : superkb
   Version         : 0.22-4
   Upstream Author : Octavio Alvarez <alvarezp@alvarezp.com>
 * URL             : http://superkb.sf.net/
 * License         : GPL v2
   Section         : x11
 
  It builds those binary packages:
 
    superkb    - Hotkey-based application launcher with on-screen hints


  Here I paste the description at the ITP:

    This is a program I wrote to enable key bindings to work with the
    Super key. Holding down the Super key for N seconds shows a keyboard
    on screen with hints about available bound keys. Configuration is
    stored in a flat text file. You can bind arbitrary scripts to your
    keys.

    It has been helpful to me because I can easily replicate my bindings
    to another PC and, so I have my keyboard full of shortcuts, I can
    check them when in doubt.

    The "magic" key (Super_L/R by default) is not hardcoded; you can use
    any other magic key, for example, in laptops that don't have it (like
    the T42) without losing the key (it gets replayed to the current
    window).
 

  To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  BTW, The only lintian warning I left unresolved is the lack of upstream
  changelog because of a bug in the upstream package, but it has already
  been worked out and will be fixed once a new version is released.
 
 
  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
 
    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/superkb/superkb_0.22-4.dsc
