Can I suggest that you have a go at implementing this with scripts on
your machine, then write up a blueprint for how to include it?  It
sounds like it shouldn't be too hard with bindfs doing the gruntwork,
and you're more likely to get a positive response if all you're asking
is "please put buttons in these locations that perform these actions".
