Feature request: Trigger Seil options when plug in/out keyboard #61

Closed aemonge closed 8 years ago

aemonge commented 8 years ago

Hi !!! I've switched the 'command' and 'option' key so I can 'command-tab' on my none-mac external keyboard normally. But when the external keyboard isn't present, I don't want that mapping to run. So It would be great if I didn't have to toggle those options each time I switch from external keyboard to the none external one.

I hope this isn't as hard as it sounds, you just have to create a shell input to the Seil commands, and trigger those on a keyboard-connected Event (from an external tool or like)
