FD-KEYB does support it, in the sense that you can remap one of those key to output a character, string, or one of the limited commands (such as calling some interrupts, reset or power off). But the question is how and where to implement the operations behind those keys (such as "play", "pause", ...).. Just two notes on my to-do list for KEYB: - Remove current code for reboot/shutdown commands, calling something like FDAPM instead (provided that FDAPM offers functions for this). - As it is, if you remap power keys to power commands, you should have to do it for any keyboard layout (or rewrite your layour and recompile the KL file. I intend to enable keyb to use some KL as "supplement" of other KL (in the sense that if the key doesn't get remapped with the first layout chains to the second). This would enable users to add such remappings on the fly and without any memory overhead for the users that don't have such keys.
