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.
