METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A DEVICE HAVING A GENERIC KEY HANDLER

A computer-implemented method includes accessing a first configuration file defining a first key event that associates a first interface interaction with a first intended action; detecting, by an event handling process, a first user input at a user interface; determining whether the first user input corresponds to the first interface interaction; responsive to the first user input corresponding to the first interface interaction, providing an identifier of the first intended action; accessing a second configuration file defining a second key event that associates a second interface interaction with a second intended action; detecting a second user input at the user interface; determining whether the second user input corresponds to the second interface interaction without rebooting the device after accessing the second configuration file; and responsive to the second user input corresponding to the second interface interaction, providing an identifier of the second intended action.
