Support for single key hotkey (no modifier) and #53

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

For autokey to be able to replace xbindkeys, we need to handle single key 
hotkey, such as XF86AudioLowerVolume, and a way to manually enter or 
detect-via-key-press any X Window keysym (/usr/include/X11/keysym.h and   
/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h).

AutoKey already sets hotkeys via detect-by-keypress and it can accept any 
keycode. Any keycode that is not recognised is represented as <codennn>. 
Unfortunately as far as I can tell python-xlib does not provide a way to look 
up string representations of these extended keysyms. However the <codennn> 
representation should be fine as it doesn't need to be entered by the user and 
is detected upon keypress. So all that actually needs to be implemented is 
hotkeys without a modifier. This is actually not that straight forward to do as 
it involves changing some fairly fundamental logic in the service component, 
however it is certainly possible.

Single key hotkeys are of paramount importance if you want to avoid RSI. This 
is the one and only feature that has stopped me from migrating to Linux from 
Windows and Autohotkey.

Logic changes to service component have been made and require testing.
Validation changes to UI yet to be made.
