LUT	{}	dict	Look-up table of user defined commands to be executed in response to piTelex ESC commands

; form: {„key1“: „cmd1“, „key2“: „cmd2“,..,..}. „cmd1“ will be executed after typing key1 a.s.o.. example: {„quick“: „echo the quick brown fox jumps“}; quick gives the output „the quick brown fox jumps“; can be used for predefined commands like TP0/TP1 (turn off/on power for teleprinter)

Description

This module allows you to execute a shell command on escape sequences. On occurrence of a command listed in the dictionary, the associated shell command will be executed. This can be used for existing escape commands as well as for new "creations". The normal effect of existing commands is not masked or changed, but extended by the execution of the additional shell command.

Example section in config file:

"shellcmd": {
      "type": "shellcmd",
      "enable": true,
      "LUT": {
        "KEY1": "command to be executed on <ESC>KEY1",
        "KEY2": "command to be executed on <ESC>KEY2",
        "TP1": "curl -s -o null http://fs200.fritz.box/cm?cmnd=Power%20On",
        "TP0": "curl -s -o null http://fs200.fritz.box/cm?cmnd=Power%20Off",
        "x": "explorer"
      }
    }

Note: The output of the commands is sent to the screen module.
