Download keyTouch 2.2.1

The keyTouch program has been specially developed for Linux Kernel 2.6 in combination with keyboards with extra function keys. With this program you can define exactly what should happen when one of these extra function keys is pressed. So you can start your favorite browser at the touch of a button or jump to the next song while playing music. For an overview of various screenshots, we refer you to this page. The developer has released version 2.2.1 with the following changes:
