<sect1>Funkeys<p>
Many modern keyboards have buttons or keys with labels like
"Vol Up", "Eject" etc. that suggest actions rather than strings.
Of course one can bind shell commands to them, but then they'll
work only when you are at a shell prompt.
Rick van Rein wrote a package funkey consisting of a kernel patch
and a daemon. The kernel patch creates a new character device,
and adds a new key type to indicate which keystrokes should be
sent to this new character device. A daemon can now listen to
the character device, somewhat like <tt>gpm</tt> listens to the
mouse device, and perform the actions indicated in its config file.
