Description

Global hotkeys can trigger configured commands through a lightweight daemon. Triggerhappy is useful for kiosks, embedded systems, media keys, and custom input setups where key events should launch scripts or actions outside a full desktop shortcut manager.

Enable `triggerhappy.service` or its socket after editing trigger configuration files. It can run commands in response to input events, so keep configuration files restricted and review every action it can execute.

How to run

triggerhappy.service
