Hi, this is a "wish" i had for the driver that I'd consider very useful. I've recently written a simple bash script which scripts the functionality of the button, an example the button on the wheel changes which keycodes the wheel sumit and hence which function in cotrnols.
If anyone is interested I'd like to share it. The problem is, where even that is kind of cumbersome, more complicated interaction because a real pain in the arse. Since the driver will only emit keyboard events, everything will go through X. Right now, I'm using my WM (openbox), to respond to the global keys to control the behaviour. For example the touchring button emits Ctrl + Shift + Alt + T which openbox catches and runs my script on, to change the mappings and give feedback through osd_cat. And whereas I could do the same for all buttons and find the most exotic keybindings to never collide with running programs, it becomes quite cumbersom to continuously remap them, map the bindings in Openbox and so on. The amount of required keybindings which are used NOWHERE else on the system grows exponentially with functionality. All these problems would immediately be solved if, instead of keybindings, actual programs could be bound to keys. It would greatly simply certain methods and give us a great flexibilty to write our own complex behaviour without any effort. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
