Thank you for posting this, it's an awesome project for cheap. It would be nice to include my feet in my workflow and not just my hands.

It would be cool to implement the pedal as a hot-key reader. Say you press the pedal down and type 'ff' and let it go and firefox launches, or type 't' and a terminal opens.

If you use Alfred/Quicksilver (or your Linux WM's equivalent) you could just map the pedal to that that key combo.
