This is my first ever Rust program.

The motivation of this is to create a soundboard with global hotkey support on Wayland, because Soundux wouldn’t add it :<
That’s why this soundboard is structurally very similar to Soundux.

Here’s a screenshot:

    I read that global hotkey is not possible in Wayland. Or, at least, not as easily as with XOrg. Did you achived it ? Can you link to where you are doing it in your code please ? I’m curious, especially since its the first time I heard global hotkeys from a terminal program.

    I try not to use global hotkeys myself. Do you have another way of controlling the soundboard ? Either from websocket, DBus, launching a command, … I like to use streampi1 (open source streamdeck clone) for streaming and it may use any of this interraction methods. (Websocket may require to write a plugin for yëur program.)

    1 Streampi as stopped developpment for now in its v2 snapshots. Still usable. But the dev want to rewrite in C++/Qt for a v3.

      During my development, I have found 2 different crates that handles global key input. They are inputbot and mki. I looked at some issues in inputbot and learnt that they are using libinput as the backend. I didn’t read about mki though.

      This soundboard is using mki, and global hotkey is working in Wayland (at least for Plasma).
