Description

Listens for keyboard shortcuts on X11 and runs the commands assigned to them, giving lightweight window-manager setups a flexible hotkey system. It is useful for users who build their own desktop workflow around scripts and keyboard control.

Hotkeys can launch programs, change windows, or run destructive commands if configured that way. Review the configuration file carefully and keep a way to recover from broken bindings.
