hotkeys is a program that lets you take advantage of all those extra keys on newer keyboards, launching programs ect. It integrates with xosd (See Bug # 2877) to supply on screen display information with keypresses if USE=xosd is supplied. suggested in x11-misc/hotkeys

Hi Stacey Thanks for submitting an ebuild! I see you made xosd optional dependency. However I do not see xosd USE flag defined at this point. I can raise the question about introducing new use flag (basically it has to be listed in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc), however I would like to see some supportive arguments (especially since xosd seems to be a small library): Are there any drawbacks of default inclusion of xosd into hotkeys (like introducing conflicts in certain cases..)? Do you know any other app that has xosd as an *optional* dependency? I would like to see some I committed an ebuild. Right now I removed xosd?, so that xosd dependency is "absolute". Please reopen the bug if you think there are strong arguments for introduction of new usevar. George
