Hi all!

I am curious if there is anybody developing an universal tool that could monitor user input from various kinds of hardware and manage actions/commands they are bound to. I've run across this Gizmo Daemon and so I thought it would be great to see something in this manner implemented in KDE4, since I haven't heard of a similar K project.

I am sure a clever app that would enable users to easily assign OS/program commands they want to their controllers/gadgets (as well as enable unsupported input devices to be recognized) would become a big plus for the Kool. The direction that Phonon and other pillars of KDE have set I believe are similar to this -- take care of the underlying stuff and make an unified easy to use interface enabled in the whole desktop. I might be wrong but maybe this could implement some potential of the D-Bus architecture.

So don't you know if there is anything similar like this for the next KDE coming?

Vivat K!

I guess this could be the base technology for that!

Now if just somebody could make the program, that would allow you to call things like "stop media player" "volume up" "fullscreen" "switch to projector and change to spdif out" on let's say press of PowerMate button or anything else.

I'll do this once I learn how to program
