This program sits at the back and listens for the "special" hotkeys that you won't normally use on your internet/multimedia keyboards. the buttons perform their intended behaviors, such as volume up and down, mute the speaker, control the backlight, launch applications, etc. it has on-screen display (osd) to show the volume, program that's being started, etc.

it features an xml-based keycode configuration file format, which makes it possible to define the hotkeys to launch any programs you want.
