wild-bind
WildBind is a dynamic and programmable key binding framework. See https://github.com/debug-ito/wild-bind for WildBind in general.
Architecture and Terminology
WildBind consists of FrontEnd
and Binding
.
+-------------------+
(user) --input-> | desktop env. |---[FrontEnd]---[Binding]
| | |
| (front-end state) | (back-end state)
+-------------------+
- A
FrontEnd
interfaces with a desktop environment. It reads input from the user and the state of the desktop environment. The state is called “front-end state”. FrontEnd
passes those two kinds of data to Binding
.
- A
Binding
binds actions to input symbols. Optionally it has its own state, which is called “back-end state”.
wild-bind Packages
- wild-bind: WildBind core data types and functions. This package defines
FrontEnd
, Binding
and other common types. Although WildBind is mainly targeted to number pads, its core is independent of any input types or desktop environments.
- wild-bind-x11: A
FrontEnd
implementation for X11 desktop environments.
- wild-bind-indicator: A GUI that describes current
Binding
to the user.
- wild-bind-task-x11: A bundle package that combines all packages above. End users should use this package first.
