This would be sick for video game keybinds!

#12Love this! In the photography community, we had MIDI2LR (MIDI to Lightroom) (https://rsjaffe.github.io/MIDI2LR/)
I used Behringer Xtouch Mini mapped to Lightroom. This allows tactile controls, and also lets you keep your eyes on the photo being edited, instead of the constant back and forth between the controls and the photo.

#13I picked up a couple of foot pedals built to control manual transcription software from thrift stores. That was years ago and I hacked them to control music software instead. Then one day I got Nvidia's Parakeet model running locally and was sold on automatic transcription in an instant. So in an ironic twist, I started using one of my spare transcription pedals to do transcription by wiring it up to a harness for Parakeet. It's great and the setup is basically trivial to create these days on Linux with a bit of help from an agent.

#14Other than the novelty of being able to press buttons with your feet, why is this useful?
If you lack special buttons, you could also just buy a bigger keyboard (or a MIDI controller that sits on the table).

Darktable also supports Midi controls, I played with it with a korg nano kontrol back in the day.

#16Funny I just built a custom midi controller firmware and configuration manager app for the Line 6 Pod GO (which is traditionally not a full midi controller):

#17As an organ player, I sometimes dream of having a full midi pedal under my desk. Would be an easy way to get some extra exercise. The problem though is that I don't think such a thing is compatible with a comfy office chair. The polished wood of an organ bench isn't comfortable but it allows for mobility.

#18I used a usb foot pedal with three switches for playing world of warcraft - originally bought it for PTT but realised how useful it was and ended up using it for the speed boost spell and the big damage cooldown.
This takes it to the next level!

#19Remember setting up my FCB1010 for guitar effects back in the day. Using it for macOS macros is such a clever pivot!

#20Looks solid, best of luck with it.
