Had to share this. I think it characterises a lot of our programs, definitely many of mine.

DemHydraz will love this guy:
- "I use Windows, because it's cheaper."
-"By the way, if anyone suggests using Linux… NO, simply NO."

This could be shortened to 10 lines of bash. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

sudo evtest /dev/input/by-id/usb-*-event-kbd |grep --line-buffered 'EV_KEY.*value 1\>'|while read line; do code=`echo "$line"|sed 's/.*code \([0-9]*\).*/\1/'`; xdotool key `printf U%X $((code+0x1F601))`; done
Single line.
EDIT:
Here's some sample output. You can see residual characters because this isn't generating keybindings, this is filtering USB keyboard events (for every USB keyboard on the system, regardless) into xdotool key commands.

Until now I called it "Duct Tape Coding."
That aside, great video.

GUIs are for the weak.

I said 10 lines of bash, not 8000 lines of Vala.

To be honest, Tom isn't a programmer by trade, he's a linguist. The fact that he knew enough of what he knew to get this working is astounding in of itself. As for better coding practices, of course people who program for a job will have better more robust solutions.

Sometimes it's fun to look at a fun program idea and think "Let's try it this unorthodox way" or "I wonder if I could do it without using…".
