1 Hi,
2
3 I think we've passed the threshold for making two USE flags global:
4
5 - sound notification support (usually via libcanberra)
6
7 - global hotkey support (usually via keybinder)
8
9 I don't have a strong opinion on flag names.
10
11
12 For sound notification, I've found that:
13
14 - 7 packages use "libcanberra" as the name
15
16 - 1 package uses "sound-notification" (and implements it using
17 libcanberra)
18
19
20 For global hotkey support, I've found that:
21
22 - 4 packages use "keybinder"
23
24 - 1 package uses "hotkeys" but it doesn't use keybinder and I'm not 100%
25 sure it's the same feature
26
27
28 WDYT?
