g810-profile A profile manager for Logitech RGB-keyboards compatible with g810-led

See https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led for the g810-led application.

Features

• Dynamic load/unload of application profiles
• Dynamic media controls
• 'On press' mute toggler
• 'Google Keyboard'-Toggler for a keyboard full of colors based on running applications.

How it works

The script is based on a application listener ('while loop' based on 'ps o comm -C'), a dbus-listener (dbus-monitor) for the multimedia controls and a 'on press' mute toggler (amixer). The script is configured with the files PROFILE_BASE, PROFILES, GOOGLE_KEYBOARD, PROFILES_PERMANAENT. These files must have the following format:

application1,application2,application3,application4,application5

Start any application in the terminal and/or use the top/htop command to get the application name used in the PROFILES* files.
