Next comes a question that might sound off-topic. Would it be easy and would it be sensible to teach esekeyd these features? To be clear, I am not a DD, so please do not feel obligated to answer me as a hoop before getting triggerhappy uploaded. It won't help. :) What I am trying to figure out is whether esekeyd and triggerhappy occupy different niches or if it is an accident of history that you are not already working on the same codebase. IIUC triggerhappy is very young so there might be a chance to merge or make the user interfaces compatible before users grow irrationally attached to the quirks of one or the other.
