The second version of evRouter is a modernised version, essentially rewritten from scratch. It aims to be equivalent to evrouter, but breaks compatibility in favour of a new approach of doing things. The project is in the earliest stages of development, but a proof of concept version exists and works fairly well (modulo the obligatory bugs, warts, etc). I'm writing this short page to describe what my aims are, and to see if anyone is interested in providing feedback with feature requests or wishes. Here come the obligatory bullet points.

For a few years, back in simpler times, I used Jon Atkins' imwheel to get X11 to understand the many buttons on my old Primax mouse. Traditionally, X11 only allowed for up to six buttons, and mine had eight (two were used for wheel events, as always). Imwheel allowed me to translate the buttons X11 didn't know about to key events (but not before I hacked it a bit).
