Will swhkd add support for MiDi input? I often use a midi controller for launching scripts/desktop apps so it would be great if swhkd could support it

I think this is a reasonable request. I don't have a midi device on me at the moment so I can't test any patches but I'll try to get something going.

There are portmidi bindings for rust so i believe it could be achievable

I personally think it'd be better to achieve this over evdev. Would you mind running libinput debug call and show me the key events of your midi device ?

would you explain the process of how i am meant to do that
