This is a simple program that provides a simple way to use the special keys on Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboards in openbox.
Several keybind entries are added to the rc.xml file in the openbox config. Commands are stored in a seperate config file (default is ~/.ergo-favrc). This is so that changes are reflected by openbox immediately, without needing to restart. Openbox WILL need to be restarted after the initial install though.
There a number of commands added by default. These use generic programs where possible, for example "x-www-browser" is used by default for the "Web/Home" button. Other defaults rely on commonly used programs that may need to be changed to reflect the users settings, for example: catfish is used for the "Search" button by default and "amixer" for the audio controls.
I am unable to find a way to register events for the "Zoom" joystick, so this is not available. Only execute actions are available.
