Message-ID: <AANLkTi=8EjNjS4=LF+LmDP-VhuiN7pgBQY+6c-zBgNXe@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:17:18 -0500 From: Thomas Stratford <tstratford@...gon-wing.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Accessibility Request A good friend of mine (Ken Starks from the Helios Project) has come up with a great idea that he and I think would be very useful to lots of people in the Linux world. I was wondering if you could either: A) Point me in the right direction to implement this. or B) Point me to an existing project of this nature. What Ken is looking for is: A simple macro system that would be system wide, to map a hot key combination to a series of keystrokes. The idea is to save time typing by mapping frequently used combinations to a single hotkey. For example: Mapping ctrl+alt+a = "The Helios Project". My thought was that this could be implemented in the keyboard driver stack, and then do a simple substitution when a hot key is triggered. Is this possible? Is there already an implementation of something like this in the Linux world? Does this sound crazy? :) Any help you could give would be appreciated.
