Sascha, Although XCSoar's User manual refers to the "Advanced XCSoar Configuration Manual" for more information about customizing events in XCSoar, I don't think that Advanced manual exists. Creating a custom events file is not user-friendly. Here's how you do it and you may agree it's a topic for the developers list, not the user mailing list.
The default event file can be downloaded at: http://git.xcsoar.org/cgit/master/xcsoar.git/tree/Data/Input/default.xci. This file maps most of the XCSoar events to menus or buttons or gestures, or to glide computer events such as STARTUP_SIMULATOR and STARTUP_REAL, the two events that are triggered when XCSoar opens. It's a text file you can edit -- you can probably figure it out just by playing with the XCSoar menus and looking at the file. After you've edited the file, move it into your xcsoardata folder, and in XCSoar's configuration screens, go to Look > Input > Events and select your .xci file. Good luck!
