blututto =========== `blututto` is a simple python script to run commands from generic keypressure. Differently than other (better) tools like `xchainkeys`, `xbindkeys`, `sxhkd`, etc. It supports specifying the *device*. This is extremely useful in companion with special remotes like the `AB Shutter3` or probably many others Setup -------- I will not digress on how to setup bluetooth, pairing, etc. Bluetooth is a mess, and I'm not the one understanding it. Try hard, and at some point you will find it Quick run ----------- `sudo python3 ev.py -n 'AB Shutter3 Consumer Control' --debug` will tell you something. Please note that **not** all the shutters you will find online are programmed to send the same keycode. So look at the debug messages, and see what happens if you press any key. This is the output I have: ``` INFO:root:Found device: /dev/input/event7 DEBUG:root:device /dev/input/event7, name "AB Shutter3 Consumer Control", phys "6C:71:D9:57:7F:48" INFO:root:start loop DEBUG:root:received key event at 1595169257.015336, 115 (KEY_VOLUMEUP), down DEBUG:root:received key event at 1595169257.195282, 115 (KEY_VOLUMEUP), up DEBUG:root:(115, 'short') ``` You can see that the shutter I bought sends the key "volume up", whose code is `115`. So that's what you need to put in your configuration file. Better run ------------- You might have noticed that I ran the script with `sudo`. That's not good, and not strictly needed. First solution: `sudo useradd $USER input` and voilĂ ! But maybe that's still too much... better adding a udevrule. Match on ` ATTRS{name}=="AB Shutter3 Consumer Control"` and apply mode 0640 and set the group to `$(id -gn)`
