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.

Installation and basic configuration

  • Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/minimec/g810-profile
  • Hide the folder
mv g810-profile .g810-profile
  • Make script(s) executable / create 'bin' folder and link the script file
chmod +x $HOME/.g810-profile/src/g810-profile.sh $HOME/.g810-profile/src/g810-media-control.sh

mkdir $HOME/.g810-profile/bin  

ln -s $HOME/.g810-profile/src/g810-profile.sh $HOME/.g810-profile/bin/g810-profile
  • Backup current .profile / add '~/.g810-profile/bin' to PATH
cp .profile{,.backup."$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"}

printf "\n# g810-profile (keyboard profile manager)\nPATH=\$PATH:~/.g810-profile/bin" >> .profile
  • Configure default music player in script. --> See #Variables (examples) All Mpris2 compatible players should work. (ctrl+x to save)
nano .g810-profile/src/g810-profile.sh
