Wow -- that particular config file defines only two commands, one that sends a "0" and another that sends a "1". That is pretty odd.

They usually have a few buttons and I don't know how well they are going to fit in your layout.
Actually, looking at the other Canon keysets, a lot of them are using the usual media keys (play/ff/rewind/record/etc.), which would fit fairly well into my existing media page. I'll take a closer look if there are commands that just wouldn't make sense in the layout.

Which brings up a question I should have asked folks here earlier -- a while back, during the various changes made to the Pierogi UI, the record button got bumped off the Media tab and on to the Misc tab. Then, it was migrated to the "Media 2" tab. Then, it got bumped off the UI altogether. I'm planning on eventually adding an entire tab dedicated to recording and timing keys, but until then, I could add the record button back to the Media tab if there is interest in it.

I'd give it a try and code a small app for it (probably ripping some of your code )
Please do! It should be available for download in the garage. (If that doesn't work, I could make a garage-based "file release", although I don't really know how to do that yet...)
