esekeyd (multimedia keyboard daemon for Linux)
|
|
|
|
ESE Key Daemon is a multimedia keyboard daemon for Linux. With
|
|
the 2.6 kernel series it can also handle remote controls, as they
|
|
are presented as keyboards. It's a userspace program that polls
|
|
/dev/input/event? interfaces for incoming keypresses, and executes
|
|
commands as defined in its config file.
|
|
|
|
esekeyd is also useful for keyboards without multimedia keys. Its
|
|
functionality is similar to xbindkeys, but (a) it doesn't require X
|
|
(works in the console), and (b) it doesn't "eat" the keystrokes it
|
|
receives, so you'll want to disable those keycodes in your keymap
|
|
if you don't want applications to react to them (see loadkeys(1) and
|
|
keymaps(5)).
|
|
|
|
To start using esekeyd, first edit /etc/esekeyd.conf to define your
|
|
keys and the programs that will be run (use "learnkeys" to get
|
|
the names of the keys). Then start the esekeyd daemon by running
|
|
"/usr/sbin/esekeyd /etc/esekeyd.conf" (as root, or as a user in the
|
|
input group). To start esekeyd at boot, just add that command to
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.local.
|
|
|
|
If esekeyd never sees your keystrokes, you may have to explicitly set
|
|
the input device for it to use on the command line (see the esekeyd(1)
|
|
man page). Also, for testing purposes, see the "Simple test" section
|
|
at the end of /etc/esekeyd.conf.
