GMERLIN_KBD(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gmerlin_kbd, gmerlin_kbd_config — a keyboard shortcut daemon, bestie 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gmerlin_kbd
gmerlin_kbd_config

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so the gmerlin keyboard daemon is literally an X11 application. what it does is grab key combinations and then execute commands — that's the whole vibe, no cap. 🦋

you're gonna be talking to it mostly through the config utility gmerlin_kbd_config, that's your main character interface. 💅

and the way it's built? obsessed, honestly:

• it's independent of keyboard model definitions, because it lets you enter the keyboard combination right there in the config dialog directly. no middleman, no extra files, just type it in. ✨
• it's independent of gmerlin or any other multimedia architecture, since the actions can be arbitrary shell commands. fr fr, they can be anything — it does not care. 🔥

if you want more info, install the gmerlin-doc package and go look at:

file:///usr/share/doc/gmerlin-doc/userguide/Keyboard-daemon.html

go read it, it's giving documentation, it's giving ✨knowledge✨
