Gizmo Daemon is a program for controlling your
computer based on events from input devices. It
has built-in support for all Linux input devices,
including keyboards with special keys, joysticks,
remotes, dials, and more. It lets you control
applications, launch programs, change the system
volume, switch desktops, and directly control
Amarok. It can visualize system events (such as
Amarok sound output, CPU usage, etc.) on capable
devices (keyboards with LEDs, Griffin PowerMate,
etc.). It also features support for LIRC and RF
based remote controls, allowing it to have
per-application key mappings and configurable
sensitivity settings.
