I have played with the configuration menu item, and it does allow me to 
select from a set of actions. However, I don't see where it associates 
those actions with a key or something like that. (I can't tell you what 
that menu includes right now, since I've got the foot pedal in use on my 
laptop, and the footpedal program doesn't get past a permissions error 
message unless the foot pedal is plugged in.)

Footpedal is a python script that resides in usr/bin and I can read it. 
Note that saying I can read it doesn't mean I understand it, yet. I have 
a python book, and I'll have to do some reading up to be able to 
understand what I'm seeing.

On a related note, I found a project called transcribe, also written in 
python. It's located at:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~frederik-elwert/transcribe/trunk/files/head:/transcribe/

I have all the python files and will study those, too. I installed the 
package and it works. It's missing a couple of features, but with the 
source, and after I do some python studying, I may be able to add what I 
need. Combine that with the foot pedal code, and maybe I can get what I 
really want.
