Wishlist: please allow (again) repeated press events

[paumard]

Hi,

I am using input-event-daemon to catch the BRIGHTNESSUP/DOWN keys on my laptop. It's exactly the daemon I needed for that, thanks for putting it out.

However, I wish I could just hold the button to smoothly increase or decrease my screen brightness. From the history, it seems that it was possible until last release. I guess you have good reasons to have removed that feature for the general case, but perhaps repeated keypresses could be a configuration option, either global or per binding?

Kind regards, Thibaut.

Happy to hear that this daemon is still useful. If I remember correctly, I had to change the behaviour to support key combinations properly. I'm not entirely sure though, since this was three years ago.

I might look into this, but I can't promise anything. I don't use input-event-daemon for myself any more, so the development has basically stopped. But since requests and bugs start piling up, I might consider a rewrite.
