Touche`

Touché is an application that brings full support on GNU/Linux desktops to your input devices: keyboard, mices, even IR remote receivers.

It uses the special kernel device "hiddev", so if your input device does send events there, you have good chance of having it supported!

Touché is a very fresh project, still in heavy development, and it's (for now) missing some features, like a configuration interface and a wider devices database, but as long as you help me with testing, it will be easy to have huge improvements in a short time.

Release highlights: Wiimote support, better KDE integration, menu refactoring, various fixes.

0.3: KDE Only version
* Port to KDE
* Added Wiimote support
* Fixed various bugs related to profiles
* Fallback Profile: if an action is not defined in current profile, and it is defined in "Default" profile, this one will be executed.
* Added global shortcuts for actions, mainly "Next Profile", "Connect Wiimote"
* Splitted keyboard_database.json in multiple files, much better to maintain.
* Moved config file and keyboard databases into default KDE locations
* Moved "Profiles" settings to a generic configuration dialog
* Added a "Modules" section for enabling modules different than hiddev (currently wiimote)
* Refactoring to allow building generic input modules (like wiimote)

0.2: New major release
* Ported build system to CMake
* Added profiles, to have different bindings for the same keys
* Major code cleanup, allowing to add more engines (next one probably will be Wiimote)
* Cleaning up desktop file and appName (fixing some issues with encoding)
* Binding keypress and keyrelease events on "Translate to key" dialog
* Added "aliases" in keyboard database, so now different device version can be mapped to the same key (example: apple remote)

Build and desktop fixes only.
* Make build more reliable.
* Desktop file fixed for kdeinit launch error.
* Use of kuniqueapplication in release mode (no need for multiple instances).
* Fix crash when removing a device with configuration dialog open.
* Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000: added "F-Block" key mapping.

Initial release. Here there are the main highlights:
* Catch input event from /dev/usb/hiddevX, otherwise ignored by the system.
* Json Devices Database: pretty easy syntax for adding new devices.
* Both Qt (simpler) and KDE (stilish) main applications are supported.
* Fully configurable by a simple user interface.
* Provides an udev rule to easly fix permissions on your usb devices.
* Automatically configures xmodmap to bind your unrecognized keys.
* Full support for Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 (a.k.a. Microsoft Wireless Destkop 3000);
possibly similar variants too.
* Support for Apple IR remotes (old MacBook pro tested); there are different variants,
two of them are configured right now.
