Description

shkd is a simple hotkey daemon for the Linux console.

Usage

SYNOPSIS

shkd [OPTIONS] INPUT_DEVICE ...

OPTIONS

  • -h: Show the synopsis and quit.
  • -v: Show the version and quit.
  • -t: Output the name and the keycode of the incoming key press events (press esc to quit).
  • -c CONFIG_FILE: Read configuration from the given file instead of the default (/etc/shkdrc).

Configuration File Format

Each line of the configuration file is interpreted as so:

  • If it starts with #, it is ignored.
  • If it starts with one or more white space characters (cf. man 3 isspace) it is read as a command.
  • Otherwise, it is parsed as a hotkey: each key name is separated by spaces or + characters.

Example:

brightnessup
    foo +1

volumedown
    bar -1

meta + alt + shift + ctrl + release + zenkakuhankaku
    baz --quux /foo/bar

Installation

make
make install
