Gizmo Daemon is a Linux utility designed for managing input devices. Its purpose is to provide an easy and efficient way of creating, modifying, and removing devices to enhance user input capabilities.
Are you a MythTV user? Gizmo Daemon also allows you to configure your remote so that it functions correctly, and you can have different key maps based on the application currently in use.
Gizmo Daemon operates on a user-centric philosophy. All device events are passed to the configuration scripts, allowing the user to decide what should be done with them. The script can interact with any of the loaded device plugins to achieve the desired result.
Some of the key features of Gizmo Daemon include controlling any application with any device, using special keys on your keyboard to control XMMS/BMP, launching programs, changing virtual desktops, controlling system mixer volume, sending keyboard and mouse events to applications, and more. Additionally, visualization of system events like CPU usage and XMMS/BMP sound output is available on visual devices.
In this release, there are many efficiency fixes, and CPU usage has been reduced. Also, support for device matching by product and vendor ID codes has been improved, and initial support for the Logitech Momo racing wheel has been added.
Overall, Gizmo Daemon is a must-have tool for Linux users who desire more flexibility and control over their input devices.
