Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to redirect keyboard presses to a specific program on Linux? The program is Quod Libet(a python-based mp3 player, absolutely fantastic. Full Regex search support!) and to advance or go backwards in the playlist is Ctrl+. and Ctrl+, respectively. For reference, I am using Ubuntu 8.04. |

Though I am unsure of their effectiveness outside of Windows, something like Keyclone or HotkeyNet might be something similiar to what you are looking for. Both were created with the idea of what gamers call Multiboxing, but you should still be able to use them for your purposes. Though I'm sure some sort of alternative native to Linux exists. |

Zeroth, possible yes but with what programs I do not know. I do know a friend of mine wrote a kernel-level driver to do something similar since he couldn't find a user-space app. If it has a command line remote control program though, xbindkeys works great. |
