okay bestie, welcome to the acpidalb(4) page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual — this is the entry for the Direct Application Launch Buttons, and it's giving very specific hotkey energy 💅✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

acpidalb* at acpi?

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this driver provides support for PNP0C32 ACPI hotkeys, a.k.a. “The Direct Application Launch Buttons” 💖

These are recognized on startup from system-wake or at runtime — no cap. Behaviour may differ from the standard specification in relation to the ACPI implementation, so yes, your ACPI vibes can absolutely change the plot 🙈

The hotkeys are reported to the power management daemon as hotkey_button. That's the whole tea ☕
