This change adds Lua scripting support for custom input routing. Users can now write Lua scripts to add custom input routing and translation logic that can be executed on every input event in the input pipeline.
Whenever a new composite device is initialized, each composite device instantiates its own Lua runtime instance and will load any lua scripts from the following directories:
/etc/inputplumber/scripts.d
/usr/share/inputplumber/scripts
Each script should return a lua table containing function(s) that will get executed by the composite device at certain stages of the input processing pipeline. This can allow users to easily implement their own custom input routing logic.
It can also be used as a pretty nice debugging tool. For example, this script will print whenever certain input events are emitted:
