3) I believe MiNT + XaAES should incorporate the Clocky's hotkeys functionality - MiNT kernel already has its own keyboard driver and XaAES could create the necessary GUI around it. At first even primitive
I don't think that the Clocky EHC API is the right one to use. It's much better to pass hotkeys through the normal AES event API. You "just" need a way to tell the AES that you (the application) want to receive certain key (combinations) even when you don't have keyboard focus.
