Not much point in illuminating individual buttons in this case unless you want to make the macros context sensitive and illuminate only those keys whose macros are applicable in the detected context. - associate each key with a web browser shortcut. Pressing the key navigates to that shortcut and the LED stays lit until the address changes. - window manager shortcuts -- synthesize various WIMP style events when the key is pressed. - integrate it as an X input extension device. This would take some programming, but shouldn't be too hard. - media player interface. Stop, Play, Pause, FFwd, Rewind, etc. More classiccmp-ish -- PDP-8/11 front panel toggle switches? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
