Alternative settings for g910-gkeys
This document will explain how to setup g910-gkeys by limiting as much as possible the usage of a global config, the idea being to setup global mapping in a static manner, and let the user set the actions in his/her own environment.
Preamble
g910-gkeys allows different actions : `typeout`, `shortcut` and `run`. All of these actions will be performed on the process environment, that is `root`. Also, these actions will be global.
g910-gkeys
The configuration chosen will ba basic: assign each g-key to a key which does not exist on physical keyboard. Any key could be used, like specific localized keys which do not exist on your keyboard (example: Japanese keys for an English keyboard), or function keys above F12.
We will choose to map them to Function keys `F13` to `F21`. See , function keys, `typeout` and `shortcut` look similar (and mayby could be merged)
