Dear Andreas, Thank you for your message. I will check what does the new version offer.
In fact, the version that is currently packaged in Debian works just fine. I am using it myself on daily basis, and I had no problems with it. Also, as you can see, there have been no functional bugs reported for kbdd for many years. I may need your help later when uploading the new version through debian-mentors if all goes well.
